[Elecraft] Q on Setting K3 Filter Offsets

I have all 8-pole filters in my K3.  I've always noticed a slight  
audio response difference between LSB and USB positions.  Read some  
list history on the topic.  I do have a wideband noise generator and  
spectral analysis software, but have been too lazy to get everything  
set up.  So I did a quick and dirty, just equalizing the receive  
response aurally on all of the installed filters.

Ended up with  -0.12 on the 2.8, +0.06 on the 1.8 and -0.05 on the 400.

I'm curious wether the experts around here think that's close enough  
for government work, or if it's really worth going the spectrum  
analyzer route.  Could these results just be due to unequal skirts,  
and maybe I should just "don't worry, be happy" and leave the 8-pole  
offsets set to zero?

Thanks ... Grant/NQ5T
