[Elecraft] K3 SSB filters

[Wes]

You said: "In addition, when the DSP IF filters are set to about the same width 
as the roofing filters, the two filters "cascade" -- the rejection of adjacent 
signals is the sum of the rejection of the two filters. "

There is no requirement that the widths be about the same. They could be widely 
different.  If one passes an interfering signal with no attenuation and the 
other has 100 dB rejection then the sum is 0 + 100 = 100.  Either could be first 
in the lineup.

If the K3 second mixer was stronger, hardware AGC might not be necessary and the 
only need for a "roofing" filter would be to eliminate the image.  A single 
10-12 kHz filter would suffice and DSP would be the final filter. Sounds like a 
K4HD doesn't it?
