By the way, the 50Hz filter on the K3 is really about 80 Hz wide, not 50... If 
you turn on the iir filter (in the config menu) THAN you can see it squeeze 
down to about 50 or 60Hz width.  This could be why the K3 sounds so much 
cleaner at such narrow width settings than other rigs.  I'm not really sure 
that it should say 50 Hz on the display unless the iir is turned on along with 
it.  Just my opinion.
