As you say your are a casual CW operator. Perhaps some feedback from a nearly 100% CW operator of 50+ years would be useful too. 1) Tuning 400 Hz 2) When things get tough 200 or 250 Hz. The utility of the 200 Hz signal has been especially good for pulling out really weak ones on 15-6M. 3) N

I chose the stock 2.7k, the 400 Hz and the 200 Hz. I'm a casual CW-only op - mostly ragchews, but occasional DX, QRP and QRQ. I wanted each filter to have a (more or less) dedicated purpose. The thinking was: - 2.7k for listening in the background, tuning around, before a QSO - 400 Hz when enga

Well, I'm in for a K3, and I need to pick some CW filters. I've read all the threads, checked the graphs, and now would appreciate some experiential reports/advice. I operate almost exclusively CW, mostly chasing DX, contests, and some occasional rag chewing. SSB only if no other choice/challen

I use the 1 kHz filter most of the time and the 400 for as needed, for contesting. In the 10m contest, I used the 1 kHz filter 90% of the time with the DSP set to 500-600 Hz. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Cw-Filter-Choices-tp7097626p7100756.html Sent fr

Hi Mark! I use the 400Hz 8 pole for general QSOs and the 250 for contesting. I am very happy with my choice. Good Luck. 73, Charles, N2SO On 12/15/2011 11:17 AM, pastor...@verizon.net wrote: > Good Morning, when I initially purchased the K3 I only had SSB filters put > into the radio. Which i

Mark, I second Mikes recommendation. I am using the 400hz filters in the main and sub receiver in my K3 and it performs superbly on CW. With these filters and using the APF filter when needed for digging out the weak ones, the K3 is a CW operators DX dream radio. I would recommend reading the
