[Elecraft] K3 filter selection

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

I have the 1.8 and like it - it's not hard to get SSB down to that and  
still hear clearly if you adjust it properly.
I always start at 2.8KHz and then bring in the filter. On LSB, start  
by adjusting the Hi cut until you've almost got to 1.8KHZ, then adjust  
the Lo cut and maybe the high cut again and what for the filter to  
switch, assuming you started with 2.7 or 2.8. Haven't tried yet on USB  
- not much around on higher bands, guess you'd work that the other way.
