[Elecraft] 200 Hz 5-pole filter

[Bill Breeden]

Jim,

I disagree.  The selected roofing filter is the first IF filter in a K3.

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.
