Ed, I'm waiting for my  K3 and I'm a phone man at present (working on my
Morse).
I have a 2.8kHz  and 400Hz on order. Reading your post, maybe I should
consider either a 1.8  or a 2.1 kHz filter too.
Given the option, which would choose?

Anyone  else want to chip in too please.

Kind of decision I couldn't make back in  May.

I opted for the std 2.7K to get the feel of the rig first. I found the dsp  
filter to be so effective that I'd be hard pressed to go to a narrower filter.  
But, I'm primarily a cw op with a lot of ssb time. I did find times when I 
was  working between a couple strong stations where the 1.8k would have helped. 
I am  presently ready to order a 250 hz for the cw ops, but again, the dsp 
works  amazingly good at 50 hz. I haven't gotten into a deep CW brawl yet so I'm 
not  sure how much I need the narrow roofing, but my experience in ss phone 
tells me  I need it.  I've placed high score in ss phone years ago an I have a  
feeling that the K3 is going to make that a reasonable expectation in the  
future.  
 
Good luck es CU in the test  WA6VNN, Al
