Hello, my first question on the site!
Can anyone tell me what the set-up is for configuring the filters please.
my present set-up is:
FM= 1300khz. Slot 1
AM-TX= 600khz. Slot 2
CW/SSB= 2.70khz. Slot 3
Data/Am= 0.50khz Slot 5
Are these correct, and / or what is the correct configuration
You mean 13 KHz and 6 KHz, anyway, looks good. That's how mine are.

You may want to consider adding the Delay adjustment.
I use mine in CW depending on whether I operate QSK or not.
Of course it also is used to adjust VOX delay I believe.

Andy, K0SM has a very nice look at the K3 reduced-bandwidth FSK keying.
(Now available to all as Beta DSP rev. 2.8.)
http://www.frontiernet.net/~aflowers/k3beta/
It is also interesting to look at before and after FSK signals in the time
domain.
Since I am NOT a RTTY operator I am asking if this DSP software revision is
applicable to other modes.
I would presume it is, but obviously not with the same type of cleanup
required with the RTTY artefacts.
Please expand the conversation to include CW and SSB.
Thank you in advance.

As far as I know, this enhanced DSP filtering is only on the K3 FSK

Interesting. At at least the transition between the mark and space

Monty,
Perhaps I didn't explain my thinking it too well.
Apparently the normal K3 FSK implementation has both frequency shift and
amplitude shifts. The time domain plots show an amplitude change from
mark to space. The frequency domain plots show the frequency shift
which is FSK keying.
Probably depends upon what you intend to use it for, but for CW SP
