That is done by tlf intentional. Every time you change band it reset
the bandwidth to the 'default' value, which is coded inside hamlib
(Seems for your K3 that default is set to 1000 Hz).

You can overide the default bandwidth setting with 

'CWBANDWIDTH=xxx' 

in logcfg.dat where xxx is one of the supported bandwidth settings of
your K3.


Wrt to the need to self compile hamlib: Which operating system and
hamlib version did you try before? Did you install also the
development headers (hamlib-dev packacke or similar) before?
Some Linux systems split the headers out from the library package.

It would be good if you can try building tlf again without the self
compiled hamlib and send me the output of the ./configure command.
