Not really -- the K3, K3S, and KX3 IF filters are implemented in DSP. 
The plug-in filters are additional roofing filters that protect the DSP 
from overload by strong signals outside of their passband. The K3, K3S, 
and KX3 have very good CW receivers without the optional roofing 
filters. The roofing filters simply allow them to work very close to 
very strong signals, AND cascade with the DSP filter to provide 
additional rejection outside the passband.
