I have a 1k filter. Does it make much difference. I have no clue really. Would I be better served with an FM filter? maybe . My main receiver has 2.8. 1.8. 1.0 400 and 250 or 200 filters. I do ssb contest and travel to DX locations from time to time. The SSB filters are essential. For CW I honestly think that the 400 is fine for most. I dislike the sound when I really crank the skirts down on CW but sometimes you must so it is nice to have it.

If you plan to do diversity receivers you need the same filters in each one and they need to be "matched" as close as possible to get the best results.

2.7 and 400 and and FM filter if you want fm and or AM would be fine for many.

Hi Andy,

several replies giving you an ideas over here.
Refer to Jim, K9YC...it is short and clear.

I am recommending you to simply stay calm.
Turn your radio ON, sit and play...
Use it daily in different situation for few months
then you will be more familiar with radio and
all functions behavior and you will have better idea
what you really need.

Good luck and enjoy your K3!
