I would recommend at least a filter or two. I believe the only filter that comes with the radio is a 2.7 KHz. If you operate CW, you'll want at least one for narrow cw, say maybe 400 or 500Hz. IF you're purely an SSB op, you might consider the 1.8KHz filter for crowded band conditions or contesting.
Speaking of filters, you can't operate 6-meter FM without the FM filter. Other than that, you can't go wrong with a basic configuration and add-on later. That's exactly what I did. But I didn't have my unit long before I ordered the KXV3A, which is required for the panadapter, and also provides an auxiliary rx antenna input. 73 and Good luck! -Chris K1AY On Sat, Mar 7, 2015 at 11:42 AM, Richard Gillingham <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm thinking about purchasing the K3-100 kit.
