Hi Bill,
My K3 #4257 had the 13KHz 8 pole, the 6KHz 8 pole, the 2.8KHz 8 Pole filter
+ the 2.1KHz 8 pole & originally, the 400Hz 8 pole CW filter.
I swapped my 400Hz CW filter for the 1.8KHz 8 pole SSB filter I have now

Once I got it, I found that I
Good Evening,
I am happy tonight sitting by my warm fire reading as the snow
level mounts. Winter finally arrived and decided to drop about two feet
of snow on me. Luckily there was some warning so I am ready for a few
days without access to the outside world and possibly a power outage.
There are references on QRP web sites related to KX1 about a set of 6 KX1 cheat
sheets that were provided by Ken VE3HLS several years ago. Ken's computer files
are no longer available for these sheets.
Does anyone have copies the file for these sheets?
Thanks

Anyone have a similar experience?
Only occasionally, I notice that when I end a transmission my K3 receive seems
almost muted. It recovers to normal sensitivity very quickly. I so far see no
pattern to the effect that might suggest a cause.

Can't speak for Bill, but for myself, all night long on 75 and 40 meters.
There are people that show up with amps and antennas that you almost never
hear outside of a contest. NQ4I near Atlanta has a 12 element LPDA for
80/75 meters fixed northeast. 4 or 5 elements active on any given
frequency.
Pardon the misstatement in the paragraph below, I accidentally switched
units. It should read:

The "decision" goes back to the earliest stage of design of the
interface. It is my personal opinion that Elecraft made the wrong choice
at the bifurcation of paths in the design process. An interface of the
type mentioned by K2AV would have greatly increased utility -- broader

the ability to narrow bw using DSP.

The KX3 will have the same built-in RTTY and PSK31 modes as the K3:
just set the DATA mode for FSK-D or PSK-D, and turn text decode on.
You can then send CW with either the attached paddle or an external
paddle and the KX3 will convert it to RTTY or PSK31. The VFO B display

Not sure what you mean by "feeling". As the filter BW is narrowed, I
usually shift the Fc down as well. This gives more balance to the
heard spectrum, which is a change of course. When the roofing filter
shifts from 2.8 to 1.8, I can't "feel" a transition, maybe because of
this operating method.
Unfortunately, it's not adjustable (at this time). However, many feel it
should be. In the past, Lyle has said he would take a look at the
feasibility of making it adjustable. With the KX3 firmware effort however,
it's probably not high on the priority list right now.

I have to wonder out loud how many guys are "feeling" the DSP filter
width impact when they go from their 2.7 to 2.1 to 1.8
My 2 cents:
For "rag chewing" the stock "wide" filter is fine.
In fact, I still use the stock SSB filter in both of my K3s and I am a
pretty serious contester (nobody holds more current CQWW USA contest
records than I do).
Remember that a roofing filter is NOT what determines your "final IF

On the other hand, the 1.8 KHz filter is my primary filter for SSB

working DX or a contest. Fidelity is not an need. Once the high

I concur with Don and others (although I don't find tuning with the 1.8 kHz too
hard), it really does help me to hear a DX, especially on lower bands where I
have a S7+ noise floor (urban environment).
I generally tune with the 2.8 kHz and then drop in the 1.8KHz in using the II
