My non stock K3 has a ton of filters. My 2nd K3 has the stock 2.7 and
added 400hz filter and I will be just as competitive with it as the full
blown K3.
The best tool an operator has is between his ears.

Keith may be referring to crystal filters. A "stock" (basic) K3 comes with one
2.7- or 2.8-kHz crystal filter. The operator may need additional filters to optimize
performance.
Other than that, there is no imperative set of adjustments one has to make to fuse the K3
for "serious" contesting. An SSB operator might want to experiment with CMP
(compression) and EQ settings (RX EQ/TX EQ). A CW op might want to use somewhat different
AGC settings, according to taste. But there's nothing unusual about the K3 that would
make it any harder to set up than other full-featured transceivers that provide a range
of setup options.
Since the K3's receiver has a such high dynamic range, it is generally
forgiving of less-than-optimum control adjustments.

Don,
No way could someone that was a real serious contester use the K3 with the
stock settings and score anywhere near the points that could be scored
without changing the settings. A stock K3 is NOT a contest radio. And I
think that's where a lot of the cons about the K3 happen. There are several
settings in the K3 that must be changed to make the radio a contest radio.
