Lets try this again with further explanation. I am retired and do not have an endless budget to upgrade the K3. The upgrades I make will depend on their cost – yet I want to progress toward the “ultimate” K3 and not end up with a box of high dollar “junk.” I would like to know what I need to do certain things and not buy unnecessary parts and/or not have everything I need. I have read here that if you want the 8-pole filter on the second receiver that you need to have an 8-pole filter on the main receiver. Perhaps a few (but not every) examples will give you the idea. I do not think these are correct – that is why I am asking. 1. Second receiver used only as general coverage receiver – desire to listen to AM, FM, and CW. The following is needed, at a minimum - a. KRX3, b. KBF3, c. KFL3B-FM, d. KFL3A-6K - ??, e. KFL3A-2.7 - ??. 2. No second Receiver – Desire to add FM a. KFL3B-FM b. ??? 3. No second receiver – desire to add second receiver WITH 2.8 8 pole filter a. KRX3, b. KFL3A-2.8 c. KFL3A-2.8 – for main receiver - ?????? d. What do I do with the old 5 pole filter, e. Or should I just order the 5-pole filter.
Does this give you a better idea? As you can see, looking at all of the options and various configurations you (almost) need a spreadsheet!
