[Elecraft] Another one of those filter questions

Hi Alan,

The information is in the manual but you sometimes have to search for these
things.

On page 46, the crystal filter setup page, it states that you should enter a
gain of 1-2 db for the 400 Hz filter. I have a 400 Hz filter and I have
entered 2 db.

I searched the PDF version of the K3 manual for offset and found on page 79
that it states that all 8 pole filters have zero offset. A note to this
effect should have probably been added to page 46.

I purchased a 400Hz 8 pole (Inrad) filter and installed it in my K3
yesterday.
There were no markings on the box and some obscure numbers on a small label
on the side of the filter case, but there was no offset figure.
The Cady book mentions that for 8 pole filters an offset is unnecessary, so
I presume this is correct?
It also mentions adding a small gain figure of 1 or 2, what do others
normally do for a CW filter?
