9 MHz is the transition between two bands (40 M & 30 M) on the K3. When you used K3 Filter Tools to cross the 9 MHz boundary the mode will automatically be switched from the last mode used on 40 M to the last one used on 30 M. Thus, your mode automatically changed from SSB to Data. Users should be aware of these transition boundaries between the bands when they are using K3 Filter Tools. > I also found another bug.

I have not been able to reproduce this problem, but it is not a bug in the program. K3 Filter Tools does not control the AF gain control at all, but it does turn off AGC. I am modifying the program to turn down the AF gain just before it turns off AGC. That will prevent the loud, annoying burst of sound users are experiencing. Thanks for your comments.
