[Elecraft] K3 Filters for digital work

I work quite a bit of RTTY and have 223 DXCC using only the stock 2k7Hz 
filter squeezed down to 2k0 with DSP for general tuning and running the 
split channel on a DXped.  The 500hz five pole is used for the DX 
station and if I'm handing out a few points in an RTTY contest and need 
to suppress nearby strong signals.

The stock 2k7Hz is used when I'm at the sharp end running split and need 
to see the spread in the waterfall.

FWIW.

Regards,
