[Elecraft] Differenced Between Filter "KFL3A-2.8_2.7sw" and"KFL3A-2.8K"?

[Bill W5WVO]

Hi Jeff,

>From the order page:

"KFL3A-2.8_2.7sw   2.8 kHz 8-pole REPLACEMENT of the standard 2.7
kHz 5 pole filter

"(For the K3 and /or the KRX3 - Only at time of initial shipment
of the K3 or KRX3. Please state if the replacement 2.8 kHz filter
applies to the K3, KRX3 or both in the order comments section. Two
of this item must be ordered if for K3 and KRX3.)"

In other words, if you order a K3 or KRX3 (which come with the 2.7
kHz filter by default) and you want them to replace the standard
2.7 kHz filter in your order with the 2.8 kHz filter, the lower
price ($95.95) can be had if you indicate this in your original
order. If you order the 2.8 kHz filter separately, as you
apparently did, the price is $125.95.

There is no technical difference between the filters, just the
price. So you can safely replace the 2.7 kHz filter with the 2.8
kHz filter that you have.
