[Elecraft] Filter Recommendations

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Although I have the standard 2.7 kHz filter in my K3S, the 2.8 is 
reported to give a little bit better SSB sounding audio.  From 
experience with another radio, opening up the SSB BW 100 Hz gives a wee 
bit better sounding audio.  Emphasis on "wee" bit.  As to the 2.1 kHz, I 
opted for a 1.8 kHz as a 2nd filter and I've found it good for SSB 
reception in heavy QRM.  A 500 Hz is the third filter for CW and Digital 
work.   These are roofing filters and it is the DSP engine which gives 
the receiver selectivity.

Everyone has their preferences and these are mine in both of the 
stations on the desk.
