This is one of the most clear, concise, and helpful responses I've seen on
this list in over two years. I will work towards making my e-mails as
informative as this one.
But not complete.
If you (like me and many others) would be affected by direct detection of
strong BC signals and will have to use 8Khz IF, then you do not need dual
passband roofing.

The KXFL3 decision is pretty easy. If you plan to use the KX3 only with
simple antennas (random wires, loaded verticals, magnetic loops) and for
casual QSOs, you don't really need it. Unwanted signals will be weak
enough
not to overload the DSP. If you plan to use the KX3, even sometimes, with
good antennas (big, high), especially in urban environments or
multi-transmitter sites like Field Day, or on crowded bands as in
contests
or DX pileups, then you should have the filter to protect the DSP from
very
strong, adjacent signals.
Another way of looking at it is, if the extra cost is not a hardship, get
the filter. Some day you'll be glad you did.
Either way, you're gonna love it!

My wonderful wife said, "Go ahead and order a KX3. Happy Birthday!", so
now I am working on options. How valuable is the KXFL3 dual-Passband
Roofing Filter? Should I order it now, or see if I need it and order it
later?
