[Elecraft] K3 SSB filters

[Jeff Kinzli N6GQ]

I've been reading the FAQ and the list archives trying to find out
what SSB filters I could benefit from in my K3, which is due to come
any day now! :) I've read some references that seem to suggest the 1.0
filter for SSB might be a bit on the narrow side.

I'm a 95% cw op, so I got the 500 and 250 filters for CW, but I'll be
taking the K3 to KH6 for the ARRL DX SSB contest, and since I'm not
much of a phone op, I'm looking for feedback from other SSB contesters
on what filters they've had success with in the K3. I don't yet have
the K3 so I'm not able to try the stock filter myself to make that
judgement...

My original plan was to just use the 2.7 stock filter, but now that
I'm thinking about it, I'm wondering if I should get the 2.1 also? Not
sure if there's enough difference to warrant that, or if it makes a
good deal of difference.  How suitable is the 2.7 filter for ssb
contesting?

Suggestions? Thanks,
