Based on what you wrote above, you should be fine with the stock 5-pole 2.7k and IMHO don't even need the 2.8k (i.e. save your $140). 1. Ragchewing: 2.7k is fine 2. DXing or contest S&Ping: 1.8k (when you DO have time for precise tuning) 3. Contest running at high rates (>150 Qs/hr): 2.1k (when you DON'T have time) I recently swapped my 1.8k for a 2.1k because of #3 above: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Trade-my-1-8k-for-your-2-1k-filter-tt7158423.html#a7161493 73, Bill W4ZV -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Real-world-use-of-1-8-filter-tp7186511p7187524.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
