John, This reflector covers all Elecraft products.
The notch filter is only used to notch out an *unwanted* signal - use it carefully since you can easily notch out the signal that you are trying to receive.
First use the DSP filter to home in on the wanted signal - the PBT knob. The roofing filter will follow along with the width of the DSP passband.
Once you get the wanted signal, you can optionally use APF if it is of benefit.
If there is an unwanted signal within the passband, you can use NOTCH to reduce it.

(not sure if this is the same as using the KX3 users group but here goes) Would appreciate advice on the use of the* notch filter* on my KX3 It is fitted with* KX3FL3* roofing filters. I only use CW Once I have spotted a weak signal I can use these to narrow down and filter out unwanted noise on the chosen signal I can also apply the APF filter and tune that way. Recent advice suggested that the APF function works best when when used with a DSP/crystal filter WIDTH setting of 300-500 Hz Does this mean I switch on the Notch and tune to this range on the notch setting and how does this work with the bandwidth settings on the PBT function? Do I leave the notch on whilst tuning for other signals or only use it when I have a weak signal in the first place. Trial and error has left me doubtful whether I am getting the best out of this function.
