[Elecraft] K2 and K3... oh which one to pick

[ab7r at cablespeed.com]

The K3 RX specs are better than the K2 and most other radios in just about every 
category.  The optional filters are roofing filters to control what is passed to 
the IF and AF DSP.  The ultimate BW is based on adjusting the WIDTH 
control...making it much more flexible in determining BW than the K2.
