If one is a CW only operator, this is a non-issue. I ordered the 1 KHz, 400 Hz, and 250 Hz 8 pole filters as I fit in the CW only category. The 2.7 KHz filter is the default and is fine with me.

All the Elecraft radios are marvelous CW machines. It is a wonder to me that most of the comments (and criticisms) seen on this reflector are about voice and digital issues.

Subject: [Elecraft] 2.7 vs 2.8 filter choice


Unless I've missed something along the way, it seems like the "concern" over which filter to choose comes down to a question of cost.

Given the cost of a K3, the price difference between the two filters seems to be of little consequence. Is there a reason to prefer the 2.7 over a 2.8 -other-
than cost?  To me there wasn't.
Yes, I realize some of us are more "thrifty" than others
and perhaps this is the issue.  If I have to ponder over
whether to pay the difference between the 2.7 and the
better 2.8 filter, then perhaps I shouldn't be buying the radio. The cost difference is a very small percentage
of the overall cost.
