[Elecraft] Need a second set of eyes... WAS: Re: Price Increase Alert for Feb 4th.

[Bill Parris]

I agree .... I contest a lot, but seldom use the 250.  If I were on the 
other side of the pileup it would probably be a good idea.

Alert for Feb 4th.

When I ordered my K3 13 months ago, I spent time talking it through with
one of the guys at Elecraft.  I considered swapping the 2.7 for the 2.8
filter, but didn't.  Now I don't see a reason to and am glad I didn't
bother.

As for the 250 CW filter, I do contest, but have used it maybe once or
twice since I've had the radio.  If I had it to do over again, I would have
stopped at the 400hz filter.
