[Elecraft] 1 Khz filter

[Bill Breeden]

I added a 1 kHz filter to my "Field Day" K3 for the same reason, and I 
really like it.  When calling CQ on CW during Field Day a lot of folks 
who answer are using radios they aren't very familiar with and as a 
result they aren't zero beat very accurately when they call.  I found 
that I was missing stations that were calling on the skirts of my 400 Hz 
filter, so I added a 1 kHz filter.  When I tune the band to answer CQs I 
still prefer listen through the 400 Hz filter.

73,
