[Elecraft] 2.7 vs 2.8

[Jim Miller KG0KP]

IMHO - NO.  The 2.7 or 2.8 is used as your "normal" phone filter.  The 
difference is the slope of the skirts being steeper on the 8 pole, BUT, when 
you NEED to rid yourself of close a close in strong station, you will be far 
better off to have added a 2.1 or 1.8 filter rather than trying to "get by" 
with the 2.7 OR the 2.8 filters.

I see I am bucking the vote here but for nearly the same money spent on 
adding my 1.8, I see FAR better performance than having used it on 2.8 
"upgrade" from the 2.7.

73, de Jim KG0KP
