1. I plan to configure my K3 with the following filters - Stock 2.7KHz KBF3 General Coverage RX Filter Module AM 6KHz FM 12KHz CW 400Hz 8 pole (uncertain about this filter)
Not having much CW experience and my current radio only using a 2.7KHz wide filter for CW (Rx only), I'm not sure which narrow filter to equip the K3 with. What's recommended for someone who will only use CW intermittently and not for contesting? (General purpose use I suppose). It's worth mentioning that I'm yet to learn morse but certainly appreciate it's worth and plan to use it. Are those filters I've listed above all I can fit in the K3's main receiver? I think I read that it had 5 filter slots. I'm not sure if the KBF3 fills one of these slots. If not, should I consider an alternative additional filter? 2. Can users distinguish the difference between the 2.7KHz 5 pole filter and the 2.8KHz 8 pole filter when using the K3? I understand the skirts of the 8 pole filter's passband will be steeper but is this noticeable?
