[Elecraft] KFL3C-400 offset?

[Nr4c]

I think Elecraft altered their filter array recently ( maybe 1-2 years) and maybe the order page hasn’t caught up. I believe they discontinued some and added some 6-pole filters. I think that is what you have.

When I do a search on the KFL3C-400 everything I see indicates it’s an eight-pole filter.  Are there two types of KFL3C-400 filters?  As you can see I’m still confused.
