Since the "saving" of the exchange is only $30, it's hardly worth it. If you are going to purchase multiple filters, the discount by purchasing all of them from Inrad (particularly if you can combine your order with a friend or two) will just about make up the difference. Even if you were planning to use 5-pole CW filters instead of the 8-pole filters, staying with the 2.7 KHz filters instead of the 8-pole upgrade would pay for the CW filter. The K3 generates its ultimate selectivity and shape factor in the DSP. Early testing shows minimal difference in the behavior of the 2.7 and 2.8 KHz filters in the "first 30 dB" of rejection that is key to IMD performance. On the other hand, an optional 2.4 KHz 8-pole filter INSTEAD of 2.7 or 2.8 KHz would be very interesting. 73, ...
