[Elecraft] K3: advice about options to buy?

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

John,

No need for the high stability reference.  The basic one is also a good 
piece of work.
The 2.7 filter is fine in ssb.

For CW/data add a 400Hz roofing filter or so (depending on your normal 
operating BW). You will need it in a busy band.
(My 2cts worth)
