Hi Jim,
The K3 uses completely different (and smaller) filter carrier boards.
Your MK5 filters could in theory be removed from the existing carriers
and put onto ours, but I'm not sure if we can supply empty carrier
boards for customer use. I'll have to run this one by Eric.
Another consideration: We're holding all of our crystal filters to a
high standard of dynamic range, and an older INRAD filter may not
perform the same as the ones we supply. This is necessary because the
K3 has higher performance than most of the rigs the filters were used
in previously.

I am probably going to be purchasing a K3 sometime within the next few
months. When I do, I am wondering about the filters. I have 2 each
Yaesu FT-1000 MK 5 transceivers with all the slots full of Inrad
filters. I read a message on this reflector several weeks ago that
implied that the Inrad catalog numbers seem to be the same (or very
similar) for both the Yaesu and Elecraft versions. So, the 64 dollar
question is: will the filters I have in my mark-5 fit into the K3?
Possibly with some different "header boards" to fit the K3 sockets?
