[Elecraft] Roofing Filter question

Unless you're contesting or dealing with DX pileups, probably 
none.  The default 2.7 kc filter works fine.


One of the reasons I purchased a K3 was that it had 5 roofing filter slots and 
a whole slew of filters available to fill them up. When my K3 kit arrived in June,
it came with only the 2.7 KHz filter-- my CW filters were on back order.  
I notice a huge difference when I installed the 400 Hz filter.
   
Right now, I own two SSB filters and four CW filters, and am evaluating which 
three of the four CW filters I want to keep.

My application is mainly DX pileups, sometimes along with some close
neighbors.
