[Elecraft] Why no love for the 1khz CW filter?

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I have a 1k filter.  Does it make much difference.  I have no clue 
really.  Would I be better served with an FM filter?  maybe .  My main 
receiver has 2.8. 1.8. 1.0 400 and 250 or 200 filters. I do ssb contest 
and travel to DX locations from time to time. The SSB filters are 
essential.  For CW I honestly think that the 400 is fine for most.  I 
dislike the sound when I really crank the skirts down on CW but 
sometimes you must so it is nice to have it.

If you plan to do diversity receivers you need the same filters in each 
one and they need to be "matched" as close as possible to get the best 
results.

2.7 and 400 and and FM filter if you want fm and or AM would be fine for 
many.
