[Elecraft] K3 400 Hz vs. 250 Hz filters?

[waltk8cv4612amos at att.net]

Everyone has there on operating modes and opinions for sure !!

I CONTEST therefore I am .................. not a CQER but  a S&PER though 
:-)

Looking for a narrow and high skirted roofing filter ! My first choice was 
to just get the standard 2.7 and a 500 Hz 5 pole cw roofing filter.

I have changed my mind. Elecraft is not aware of this fact but they soon 
will be :-) Now I am sniffing at the 8 pole filters. I wish there were 300 
and 600 for cw but there AREN'T , so ...................

I now want the upgraded 2.8 8 pole SSB filter for the additional $41 !

1.8 for narrow SSB and wide cw!

400 for cw normal.

250 for cw narrow in pile ups and contest dog / cat fights.

for now no SWL stuff or 6 KHz filters and definitely don't want FM :-)

No second receiver planned, no temperature compensated oscillator either 
unless the thing drifts all over the band, no ATU as I already have a few 
external ATU's around here.  But if you were going to use it at vacation 
homes or camping the internal ATU would be a welcome addition.

So, there's one hams opinion .................... he he ! FLAME SUIT ON !!
