[Elecraft] 2.7 vs 2.8 filter choice

[jimbrass]

If one is a CW only operator, this is a non-issue.  I ordered the 1 KHz, 400 
Hz, and 250 Hz 8 pole filters as I fit in the CW only category.  The 2.7 KHz 
filter is the default and is fine with me.

All the Elecraft radios are marvelous CW machines.  It is a wonder to me 
that most of the comments (and criticisms) seen on this reflector are about 
voice and digital issues.
