[Elecraft] K3 for CW

[Robby.VY2SS]

I had the same dilemma. I went for the 250 and 500 for the reason you mentioned. I normally listen at 350 hz but 250 in contests.
 
If you are mostly interested in CW why bother with the DVR?
 
The 2nd RX is very nice but I find that I seldom use it after the first few months.
 
I don’t think you need to match them. I have a 400 hz filter in my sub RX and have had good success with diversity etc. 
 
Just my 2 cents worth.

I'm about to place order for k3 kit.  I'm currently only interested in CW, have a K2 I built, and want to spring for a K3. 
Currently my order includes the KAT3, KDVR3, 400 & 250 8-pole filters. 

I've been following P3, 2nd Rcvr here but am not ready for those yet.  My question is 1) best filters for CW and 2) any other must-have options. 

I've read Wayne's article about filter selection but still unsure.  It seems the 400 and 250 may be close to same and 1000 and 400 a better choice.  Or 500 5-pole?  I'll be adding Sec Rx so what about filter matching? 

73,
