I would get rid of the 1.0K CW filters for 700Hz and get rid of the 400Hz for 250Hz.
I would get 1.8Khz SSB filters instead of the 2.1KHz.
The KXV3A is not included in the K3 so you need one for the P3. The upgrade is for those users who bought the original KXV3.

As a result of all of you helping me better understand the K3 here is
what I have come up with as a buy list for a K3 purchase.

I wonder if anyone would not mind looking it over, with an eye towards
suggestions to me if you see something I missed.

Also a few questions first:

1.  Do I need something for the KXV3A Upgrade, or is the original item
included with the K3?

2.  Is there really much of a difference between the stock 2.7 filters,
and the 2.8, 8 pole filters for SSB?  I will never be on an island doing
a DXpedition.  Could I save a few bucks and not get the 8 poles for both
RX's?

Buy Info follows:

Basic Rig:
K3/100-F K3     K3 Xcvr
KAT3-F          K3 ATU
KRX3-F          Second RX
KBPF3           Gen Coverage Module
KTCX03-1        K3 TXCO (Is this really needed?)
KDVR3           Digital voice recorder
KUSB            USB Cable for connection to Linux box

Panadaptor:
P3-F
KXV3A (See question above)

Filters:
MAIN RX Only
AM:
KFL3A-6K        AM Filter, only in Main RX

All filters below are in Both Main RX and Sub RX
SSB:
KFL3A-2.8       2.8, 8 Pole Replacement filter, RX, plus Sub RX
KFL3A-2.1       2.1, 8 Pole

CW:
KFL3A-1K        1 K, 8 Pole
KFL3A-400       400 Hz, 8 Pole

I may replace the 1K filters with 700 Hz filters, I am still mulling
this over, any thoughts would be appreciated.
