[Elecraft] Buying a new K3/100 kit - Top 3 options?

[Ethan Miller K8GU]

Arlen,

I agree that the KXV3(A) is very useful in general, also.  My first
K3/100 only had the 400-Hz roofing filter option and I bought the
KXV3A a few months later so I could hook up Beverages.  I would
strongly encourage you to consider at least one roofing filter that's
matched to your preferred mode/bandwidth so you can really exploit the
awesomeness of the K3.  I would think that for SSB DX, the 2.1 kHz or
1.8 kHz might be useful.

I don't consider auto-tuners a must-have accessory...but, all of my
antennas are matched farther down the feeder and the amp I'm using
right now has tuned input.  That's the last item on my list of K3
upgrades (the next, and next-to-last, one is the sub RX)...

Have fun...it doesn't take much to really enjoy the radio...add the
options later!

73,

--Ethan, K8GU/3.
