[Elecraft] Contemplating Purchase of K3

[Alan]

If you're a serious CW op you'll want a narrow-bandwidth crystal filter. 
  The stock SSB filter is fine for casual CW operation.

If your computer doesn't have an RS-232 port, you'll need a KUSB 
USB-to-RS232 adapter so you can do firmware updates.

Other than that, a bare-bones K3 is quite sufficient.
