Don:
I do understand it works, since every unit is shipped that way.
My question is more in the vein of wouldn't using a 1kHz or less filter
be safer/cleaner/logical for CW?
Obviously, not as a factory default, since only one filter is sure to be
there, but on a per-user basis.
I thought years ago (before I had Elecraft) I read that a narrower TX
signal made for a stronger signal within that narrower bandwidth.

Byron,
The K3/K3S is designed to use the filter that is installed "stock" in
all transceivers, so you need to select the 2.7 (or 2.8) filter for CW
(or any other mode except AM, FM or ESSB) for transmit.
Requiring a 1kHz filter for CW transmit would require that filter be
included in the basic package and would increase the price of the
transceiver.
This sounds like a 'curiosity' question - the K3/K3S works fine with
the 2.7/2.8kHz filter for CW transmit.

I have noticed that Elecraft K3/K3S defaults to setting the wide SSB
filter as the CW TX filter.
Is there a technical reason for doing this? Would it be better to use
a 1kHz filter or one of the narrow CW filters?
