Hello All,
A couple of people have asked me to post a summary to share what I learnt
from my question about options for a new K3. I received 25 replies, many
were off-list emails, offering well considered ideas and advice. I was
surprised at how generously people offered their time and their
I think you have made wise choices.
I purchased my K3 one bit at a time, starting with the K3/10. It was
a lot of fun opening the boxes each wek for the next couple of months
and installing the latest purchase. And, this is the real beauty of
the K3 design. You can add any feature you
John,
It sounds like you've made some very good choices. I have 2 K3s sitting on my
desk. One has the high-stability oscillator, one doesn't. I don't see any
noticeable difference in stability or frequency accuracy between them. As for
filters, one has a 2.7 KHz and the other a 2.8 KHz. Once

There was a concensus of opinion that the 2.8 8 pole / 2.7 5 pole swap
wouldn't be of benefit in my situation and that I should just go with the
2.7 / 5 pole stock filter.

I've decided that I probably WILL do the 2.8 for 2.7 swap and
Another justification for not swapping for the 2.8Khz filter is that even the 8
pole filters will need to be adjusted if you want exact alignment with any other
filters. Not a really big deal, but if you're a perfectionist...
