I think most K3 owners understand that. Those who call CQ during
crowded band conditions also understand that their ears will take less
of a beating when using a 1 kHz DSP bandwidth in conjunction with a 1
kHz roofing filter instead of the next wider roofing filter, which, in a

I am a CW operator and I have 2.8kHz, 1kHz, 400Hz and 200Hz filters in
my K3. I think this is serious overkill (especially since I have another
similar set in the subreceiver).
The function of the crystal filters is to allow you to operate closer
than (roughly) the filter bandwidth to a

I added a 1 kHz filter to my "Field Day" K3 for the same reason, and I
really like it. When calling CQ on CW during Field Day a lot of folks
who answer are using radios they aren't very familiar with and as a
result they aren't zero beat very accurately when they call. I found

Hello John,
It's used for CW. I have a pair of them (main and sub rx) and find that CW
sounds more pleasing through this filter. I operate about 90% CW and I use
this filter most of the time, engaging narrower filters only when it
becomes really necessary.

I use a 1k filter in the main radio. It would make no difference which
receiver is was installed into.
I use it quite a bit especially for turning the bands looking for dx or
mults. When conditions get tough I switch in the narrower filters as
needed. You probably want a 400 in addition to the

I have one in the main rx. I got it on the grounds that I would use it in
contests when
running, setting the bandwidth to about 800 Hz. to catch off-frequency
reducing qrm from stations at less than
2Khz apart.
