My filters are 6, 2.8, 2.1.1.0 and 0.4. 1.0 and 0.4 average to 0.7 so I think I have it covered ;-)

When the 2.1 and 250 filters switch in, the signal level in the earphones doesn't seem to change, but the noise level does indicating an improvement in S/N. Perhaps they are sharpening the cutoff of the DSP filter removing some of the off-frequency noise?

In the K3 Utility -> Configuration tab -> Configure Crystal Filters, you will see that each filter has a Gain setting. You can change the gain on a per-filter basis to maintain approximately the same overall gain. Generally the smaller bandwidth filters require a few more dB
gain than wider ones.

An example:
13 KHz:  0 dB
6 KHz: 0 dB
2.8 KHz: 1 dB
1.8 KHz: 2 dB
0.25 KHz: 4 dB

These settings work well in my K3.

I have the 2.1 KHz (for SSB) and the 250Hz (for CW and digital) filters. ... I notice as I am narrowing the bandwidth in both CW and SSB, when the K3 switches to a narrower filter, there is a noticeable step down in the noise level that doesn't occur when just narrowing the DSP bandwidth one notch.
