Hello John, I would get the KTCX03-1 option instead of the 2.8 filter. You won't notice the difference between the filters. I have two K3's one with the 2.7 and one with the 2.8 and there is no real difference between the two.
I would get the 500hz CW filter for starters. When you start working serious DX CW you can get one of the narrower filters for that. That's my opinion. I could be wrong. 73, Tom Childers Radio Amateur N5GE Licensed since 1976 QCWA Life Member 35102 ARRL Life Member Retired Professional C# Software developer http://www.n5ge.net On Wed, 5 Jan 2011 01:11:44 -0800 (PST), VK7JB <[email protected]> wrote: > >Hello group, > >My mouse is hovering over the "Add to Cart" button for a K3/100 modular kit. >I'd really value some candid advice about options before I commit. > >My situation: I'm a casual operator, data modes, SSB and CW.
