I have the 2.7 and 2.1 filters for SSB work. I'm often on a 75m net with a group that is 2 kHz below the net frequency. With the 2.1 kHz filter I can dial the Hi Cut down to 2.05 kHz and I don't hear them at all while still having excellent intelligibility of the net. For the QSO Party this weekend, I can dial the width down to just where the 2.1 kHz is switched in and operate without a lot of squeaks and squawks. In years past I bought a TS-850S fitted with a 1.8 kHz Kenwood filter which was next to useless as the speech was not intelligible. I sold it and bought a pair of INRAD 2.1 kHz filters (one for each IF) which really made that radio work very well until it had other issues. I've been a fan of the INRAD 2.1 kHz filter for narrow SSB work ever since. The K3[S] with the choice of Hi/Lo Cut or Width and shift, allows one to make maximum use of the filtering depending on the need. ++++ 73, Nate, N0NB -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
