From the manual … (K3S p 85 — same rules apply to K3)
"Rule #2: You can install any filter in any slot, and can leave any slot empty
in anticipation of installing a crystal filter there later. However, you should
install the widest filter closest to FL1, the next widest to its left, etc. “
So
I am installing a 6kHz filter in a K3.
The current filters are in positions FL1, FL2 and FL3.
Do I need to move the other filters so the 6kHz is in the FL1 position?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think fan is set to high speed to bleed down the 60 V supply. I think
it is set to low speed but may revert to high speed when the firmware shuts
down with 60 V

Your analysis is spot on. When the KPA is requested to shut down it does some
housekeeping, saving various things and putting the amp into a safe condition,
including setting the 60V to off. It then sets the fan for full speed operation
to bleed off the 60V power and waits for

Cool. I saw "turned off all night" and it surprised me the fan was left
running full speed the whole night.
I'm interested in the outcome.

As I read Jerry's post, I believe his fan was running even after the amp
had been shut off all night long... and the only way to get it to stop
running at full speed was to either turn the amp on... or turn off the
power switch on the rear. He also stated that the menu setting was set to
The KPA runs a check on the memory contents when it starts up. If something has
changed that should not, then it will ask for a fresh firmware load. Since
Jerry is not seeing this, then I don’t believe there is a firmware issue.
I _am_ concerned about the issue, which is why I suggest calling
Jerry:
Maybe clarify. I think Jack's concern is that your fan was running even
with the power off. That's not the case, right? The fan just came back on
full when you turned the power back on?
Try Menu, scroll down to FAN CTL and make sure that say NOR. If it has a
number instead, you somehow
That means the power is not shutting off. We bleed off the capacitor charge
through the fan at front panel shutdown, which is why you hear the fan run for
normally a short time.
Turn off the KPA using the rear pane switch and call tech support in the
morning. They need to look into this one.
Try reloading your saved firmware. Could be an internal error which can happen.
Reloading firmware, preferably one you have saved will correct the error.

Help:
A few of us are planning an multi-operator operation for next weekend's CQ WW
VHF contest, cobbling together equipment from different places. I am wondering
if there are any potential issues (most likely with switching timing) with the
following potential setup for six metres:

Make sure BOX is ON on all bands.
Make sure not in TEST mode on bands with no CW out.

The YCCCN Remote OPs group (VY1AAA) uses the K3S at this site (VY1JA) and
reported the same problem but only on Six meters. The K3s is working
perfectly on all other bands.
It has been confirmed that the CONFIG does not redirect TX output and tests
on TUNE show good output on 6 and low antenna
