Hi Gary, Do keep in mind that in CW mode, the maximum audio bandwidth is limited by the DSP to 2.8 kHz even if you have the AM or FM roofing filter installed. Even in phone modes, the audio rolls off somewhere around 4 kHz, so that would give you a fairly narrow chunk of the band at

I am about to order filters for the K3 and need some final advice. I have the capability for diversity reception on 160 and 80 and am wondering what is the best filter pair to use for CW. Price really doesn't enter into the equation as a pair of matched 5-poles filters are about the same

I am about to order filters for the K3 and need some final advice. Hi Mike. I have a pair of 400Hz and a pair of 250Hz 8 poles in my K3. I'm pretty active, 99% CW, and rarely use the 400Hz (maybe once a day) and very rarely the 250Hz (once a week). The DSP works extremely well. So of
