[Elecraft] Re: K3 Filters

Hi Jim,

The K3 uses completely different (and smaller) filter carrier boards. 
Your MK5 filters could in theory be removed from the existing carriers 
and put onto ours, but I'm not sure if we can supply empty carrier 
boards for customer use. I'll have to run this one by Eric.

Another consideration: We're holding all of our crystal filters to a 
high standard of dynamic range, and an older INRAD filter may not 
perform the same as the ones we supply. This is necessary because the 
K3 has higher performance than most of the rigs the filters were used 
in previously.
