[Elecraft] K3 CW filters advice

[Jim - KE8G]

Hi Robert,
I work 100% CW, and in my K3 have a 1KHz, 400Hz, & 250Hz.  Now, I know it's
a lot of redundancy, but I figured for the couple of extra bucks, what the
heck!

You just might want to go with the 400Hz & 250Hz.  Most on this reflector
will say that being as close in bandwidth as they are, to forget the 250Hz
and go with the 200Hz.  Personally, I chose the 250Hz because it is a 8-pole
filter and the 200Hz is a 5-pole.

Good luck in your purchase, you will not be sorry choosing a K3!

Hi Robert,

I just bought the K3 in December and I also work mostly CW.  I also work
mostly QRP anymore so, I have the 400 and 200Hz roofing filters.  They work
super for me!
