[Elecraft] K3 - selecting filters. Help pls.

[Lee Buller]

Ruben,

>From my experience.....and I use a lot of CW and I am also into RTTY and PSK with some SSB contesting thrown in......

I would get the 500 Hz CW filter for RTTY, and use the stock filter SSB filter for everything else  The stock filter will do PSK very well and of course SSB.  But, when it comes to the RTTY mode, I would get the 500 Hz filter.  You could use the stock filter and narrow the bandwidth down, but from my experience RTTY is a joy with the 500 Hz Filter
 
Now, I got the 5 pole filters...which are cheaper...and have found them to be quite adequate so far.

That is my opinion....others may disagree.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?
