For the time being my 2.8 KHz 8 pole and 400 Hz 8 pole are great for SSB 
and CW respectively. In CQWW CW I didn't have any problems with close by 
stations when using the 400 Hz filter.

I don't have any 5 pole filters, so cannot comment on how they perform 
relative to the 8 pole types. There is certainly a noticeable 
improvement when the bandwidth is reduced beyond the 400 Hz mark and the 
narrow filter is automatically switched in. For CW I wouldn't want to 
rely solely on the 2.8 KHz filter.

================

My K3/100 has been on order for a couple of weeks now. Really excited about 
the prospect of it getting here on down the road. Here is my question . . . 
what optional filters should be ordered for this rig?  I work SSB mainly, 
and some CW.  And neither in contest situations really.  I was thinking 
about the 250 and 500 Hz CW filters, as well as the 2.8Khz SSB.  What do 
some of you K3 owners think about this?  What are your recommendations?

Thanks and 73,

Mike
