[Elecraft] Help on Configuration

[Barry McWilliams]

Hi Deane - for what it's worth.  

I think for most non-critical (non-contest, non-DX) users, the K3 
standard 2.7 kHz SSB filter does a good job for CW and SSB modes.  The 
K3 DSP software allows you to narrow the bandwidth for CW to 500 Hz or 
less.  The DSP works much better than the Yaesu and Icom (IC-746 -- nice 
radio in many ways) radios  I have used recently  in my shack.

HOWEVER -- the additional , narrow filters ( I have the K3 400 Hz filter 
), do make a difference on CW when contests rule the band.

I don't think you'll go wrong with a K3 with whatever configuration you 
choose now -- you can easily add filters and options in the future.
