[Elecraft] Contemplating Purchase of K3

[Chris Hallinan]

I would recommend at least a filter or two.  I believe the only filter
that comes with the radio is a 2.7 KHz. If you operate CW, you'll want
at least one for narrow cw, say maybe 400 or 500Hz.  IF you're purely
an SSB op, you might consider the 1.8KHz filter for crowded band
conditions or contesting.

Speaking of filters, you can't operate 6-meter FM without the FM filter.

Other than that, you can't go wrong with a basic configuration and
add-on later.  That's exactly what I did. But I didn't have my unit
long before I ordered the KXV3A, which is required for the panadapter,
and also provides an auxiliary rx antenna input.

73 and Good luck!
