Hello group,
My mouse is hovering over the Add to Cart button for a K3/100 modular kit.
I'd really value some candid advice about options before I commit.
My situation: I'm a casual operator, data modes, SSB and CW. I rarely need
to contend with crowded bands and don't currently work
No, nothing to be added. U are good enough.

Hello, John...
I have just such a device as the one you describe...a K3/100
without the KTCX03-1 and with the normal factory filters. The only
serious add-in that my box carries is a K144XV internal transverter
(more on that anon). I operate a little SSB, more CW, and a lot of other
John,
No need for the high stability reference. The basic one is also a good
piece of work.
The 2.7 filter is fine in ssb.
For CW/data add a 400Hz roofing filter or so (depending on your normal
operating BW). You will need it in a busy band.

I do not favour the proposition of no ATU for a matched antenna.
cheers,

Good decision on buying the K3, John - you will love it!
For your intended usage, your option selections will be fairly
straight-forward. Good choice on the internal tuner - it is great.
You will save lots of $$ by not needing to buy many roofing filters. The
stock 2.7 KHz should meet 90% of

About filters: which would you recommend I buy, given my casual-mode
operation? I anticipate working
OK, you are just about to buy, and want ideas. Here goes.
You've indicated the General Coverage module. If you are going to get
that, I'd suggest you also get the 6khz filter so you can take
advantage of all the AM broadcasts you'll be hearing. The 2.8/7 filter
just won't work with AM.

NR4C's advice on an additional filter if you plan on doing much SW or MW
listening is good, and something I overlooked in my first response. While
you can achieve quite good results using USB or LSB in conjunction with the
2.7 KHz roofing filter, a wider filter for use with AM RX will be more
Hello John,
I would get the KTCX03-1 option instead of the 2.8 filter. You won't notice the
difference between the filters. I have two K3's one with the 2.7 and one with
the 2.8 and there is no real difference between the two.
I would get the 500hz CW filter for starters. When you start

I'm curious ... has anyone measured the actual difference in frequency
stability with and without the KTCX03? I'm under the impression that
the stock frequency stability is pretty solid. And aside from critical
VHF/UHF work, is there any place that difference makes a ... well, uhh

A short post to thank everyone for all the great help with thinking through
my K3 options. I received a lot of very clear advice, both on and off the
reflector, and I feel much better placed now to make a decision. Thank
you, everyone, for your interest and for generously sharing your
