[Elecraft] Filters

[Michael M. Raskin]

Hi - I'm new to the list and I want to order all the filters I might need so 
I can install them at the same time and not have to open the rig each time. 
I operate mainly CW, but also SSB and RTTY.  I am primarily a DXer but a 
contester secondarily.  My main bands are the two extremes: 160 and 6.  What 
are some recommendations for filters for the main and sub?  I want to opt 
for replacing the 5-pole 2.7 with the 8-pole 2.8.  I want the 8-pole filters 
but it looks like little difference between the 250 and 400.  Also, is there 
much difference between the 1.8 and 2.1?  Definitely want a 2.8 for both 
main and sub as well as the 1.0 for the sub when searching on split.  Anyone 
have a suggestion for the 6.0 for 6M when activity is low?  What should I 
choose for 5 in the main and 5 in the sub?  Should they be all the same?  I 
believe all SSB goes through the 2.8 on transmit - is that the same for CW? 
Anyone responses will be appreciated.

Thanks,
