[Elecraft] Real world use of 1.8 filter

[Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF]

Hi Bill,
My K3 #4257 had the 13KHz 8 pole, the 6KHz 8 pole, the 2.8KHz 8 Pole filter 
+ the 2.1KHz 8 pole & originally, the 400Hz 8 pole CW filter.
I swapped my 400Hz CW filter for the 1.8KHz 8 pole SSB filter I have now 
with a fellow Elecraft owner here on the list.
Once I got it, I found that I was using the 1.8KHz filter more than the 2.1 
for both contesting and rag chewing to the point where now I have removed 
the 2.1KHz filter due to non use.

YMMV but I guess it's down to individual tastes and hearing ability.
