[Elecraft] K3 Trade my 1.8k for your 2.1k filter

[Bil Tippett]

Swap has been arranged.  A few asked why I wanted to switch so here's 
the simple answer.  I operate SSB primarily in contests.  In the CQWW 
SSB I found the 1.8k was a little too narrow when running stations at 
high rates (>150/hr).  In contests stations often call slightly off 
frequency (+/- 100 Hz) and I found myself needing to widen the 
passband to ~2.0k for best copy (which kicked in the stock 2.7k).  In 
fact I never used the 1.8k much in the entire contest.

When working stations on a single frequency (such as a DX pileup or a 
net) the 1.8k works fine when you have time to tune carefully.  And 
yes I do know how to adjust HI CUT (and Fc) for best readability at 
narrow BWs.  Hopefully the 2.1k will be a better solution for me in 
the ARRL SSB DX Contest in March.
