Since I find that the 8 pole 250 Hz filter is really a bit wider I
tell my K3 in filter setups its 300hz It works fine for me this way
including on RTTY
During the WPXRTTY this weekend I had good luck copying weak signals
right beside a power house signal using the 250hz filter.

The narrowest filter I have in both receivers is the 400 Hz one. I
borrowed a K3 that had a 250 Hz filter in it once and tried it on
RTTY.
It works, but it's right on the margin of being too narrow. If
someone
is using one of the older Packet TNC's that have RTTY mode in them
(they
used 200 Hz shift instead of 170 and there are still a lot of them out
there) it's really hard to get them tuned in with a 250 Hz filter,
especially in weak signal/selective QSB situations. The 400 Hz filter
doesn't seem to have that limitation though it does let slightly more
noise in (easily handled with the DSP filters anyway.

Hi,
I ordered and use the 400 for RTTY, I suspect the 250 is a bit to
narrow.
