I originally ordered my second K3 in September but asked for it to be held
until both the KRX3 (ordered May 1 last year) and KDVR3 were available so I
could build a new unit from scratch with all options.  EI6IZ's diversity
recordings and comments finally got to me and I couldn't stand it any
longer, so I asked for delivery sans KDVR3.  I'm now thinking I may cancel
the KDVR3 in lieu of using the internal DVK in N1MM for 10m contests, which
is about the only time I use SSB nowadays.

I decided to "take my chances" with XFIL offsets (i.e. by not ordering them
matched).  Apparently I lucked out:

MAIN:  2.7k  -.84     500  -.78
KRX3:  2.7k  -.81     500  -.78

I'll split the difference on the 2.7k filters at -.82 or -.83 (after
carefully measuring both) and the 500s are good "as is".  Just for interest,
here are my offsets for #111:

2.7k  -.97    500  -.79    200  -0.90 

I'll move the 200 to the new unit but not use it in diversity mode, and I
may add a KAT3 to my older unit to use it for portable/expedition use.

Now I've got work to do!

73,  Bill
