[Elecraft] Filter Selection

[Greg]

Hi Ken.  While it is an extra step I don't see how it would be a "pain". ??

The offset is also on the filter itself.  Since moving filters around
already necessitates going into the filter setup in CONFIG, it's
not hard to go to FL OFS and dial in the offset on the filter.

I've just completed my K3, S/N 56.

Here's one minor item ... other than cost ... related to
choosing between the 5-pole and 8-pole filters ...

I believe the 5-pole units require entering their individual
(and each different) off-sets into the radio during initial filter
set-up.  There's a table in the manual where the builder is to
note the off-sets as the filters are installed.  This would need
to be done each time there is a reason to re-configure the
filters ... as in moving them from slot-to-slot to make room
for an added filter.  I view this as a "pain". The 8-pole (Inrad)
filters don't require this step.

I have 6 kHz, 2.8 kHz, 1.8 kHz, 1 kHz and 400 Hz filters,
all 8-pole units and I'm really glad I made the extra investment.

Even with my limited experience with the K3, it's SMOOTH!
A wonderful radio!
