[Elecraft] Current buy configuration

[Stephen Bloom]

 Hi Dave:

I don't exactly know your operating preferences ...or how (RF) noisy your
local environment is etc. ...I wouldn't be comfortable giving you exact
recommendations ..What I will say is ...on a technical level ..it's been
recommended that you use the same filter configurations for both receivers
....I don't know the bottom line reason ...it seems operationally that it
would be simpler and less to remember

What I did was talk to the Elecraft Rep at Seapac last year (when I bought
my K-Line).  The Elecraft folks are quite genuine in terms of not trying to
upsell you what you don't need.  Let them know what your operating style is
..and they'll work with you in putting an order together.  I wouldn't just
go down the order sheet thinking "Hmmm ..do I want this or not?"

As a result of all of you helping me better understand the K3 here is what I
have come up with as a buy list for a K3 purchase.  

I wonder if anyone would not mind looking it over, with an eye towards
suggestions to me if you see something I missed.

Also a few questions first: 

1.  Do I need something for the KXV3A Upgrade, or is the original item
included with the K3?

2.  Is there really much of a difference between the stock 2.7 filters, and
the 2.8, 8 pole filters for SSB?  I will never be on an island doing a
DXpedition.  Could I save a few bucks and not get the 8 poles for both RX's?

Buy Info follows:

Basic Rig:
K3/100-F K3 	K3 Xcvr
KAT3-F		K3 ATU
KRX3-F		Second RX
KBPF3		Gen Coverage Module
KTCX03-1	K3 TXCO (Is this really needed?)
KDVR3		Digital voice recorder
KUSB		USB Cable for connection to Linux box

Panadaptor:
P3-F
KXV3A (See question above)

Filters:
MAIN RX Only
AM:
KFL3A-6K	AM Filter, only in Main RX

All filters below are in Both Main RX and Sub RX
SSB:
KFL3A-2.8	2.8, 8 Pole Replacement filter, RX, plus Sub RX
KFL3A-2.1	2.1, 8 Pole

CW:
KFL3A-1K	1 K, 8 Pole
KFL3A-400	400 Hz, 8 Pole

I may replace the 1K filters with 700 Hz filters, I am still mulling this
over, any thoughts would be appreciated.
