That is hard to say.  Are you a CW op?  SSB op?  Data modes guy?

The radio comes with a 2.7 kHz 5-pole filter.  If you are into wider SSB 
or AM, you'd want the 6 kHz filter.

I suggest a 400 Hz or 500 Hz CW filter if you are likely to get into a 
situation where there are a LOT of really strong signals nearby, for 
CW/Data mode work.

Thank you for your interest in the K3, Mike!
