[Elecraft] K3 Configuration Cookbook?

[Rich]

Lets try this again with further explanation. I am retired and do not have an
endless budget to upgrade the K3. The upgrades I make will depend on their
cost – yet I want to progress toward the “ultimate” K3 and not end up with a
box of high dollar “junk.” I would like to know what I need to do certain
things and not buy unnecessary parts and/or not have everything I need.  I
have read here that if you want the 8-pole filter on the second receiver
that you need to have an 8-pole filter on the main receiver. Perhaps a few
(but not every) examples will give you the idea. I do not think these are
correct – that is why I am asking.
1.	Second receiver used only as general coverage receiver – desire to listen
to AM, FM, and CW. The following is needed, at a minimum - 
     a.	KRX3,
     b.	KBF3,
     c.	KFL3B-FM,
     d.	KFL3A-6K - ??,
     e.	KFL3A-2.7 - ??.
2.	 No second Receiver – Desire to add FM
     a.	KFL3B-FM
     b.	???
3.	No second receiver – desire to add second receiver WITH 2.8 8 pole filter
     a.	KRX3,
     b.	KFL3A-2.8
     c.	KFL3A-2.8 – for main receiver - ??????
     d.	What do I do with the old 5 pole filter,
     e.	Or should I just order the 5-pole filter.

Does this give you a better idea?

As you can see, looking at all of the options and various configurations you
(almost) need a spreadsheet!

Thanks Rich
