500 or 400Hz 8 poles (xtals) must be your choice for the narrow roofer when you be on CW.If you are a contester,narrower BW will be even better like 250 Hz but always 8 poles,in my K3 I only use the 500Hz and with the DSP set at 200Hz its a brick,very selective RX. AD4C

I usually find that when operating weak sigs with my Pro 3, a bandwidth of about 600 to 800 hz is plenty adequate in normal QRM conditions. With that is mind, am I better off with the 1000 or 500 HZ 8 pole filter???
