1 kHz Filter for K3

[Michael Raskin]

Is anyone using the 1 kHz filter in the K3 subreceiver for CW?  Any pros or
cons?

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 1k.  Flexibility is the
key.

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 callers. In fact I
find that 400 Hz works best, because there are usually loud stations close by!

It's nice to have, but not as essential as I'd thought.

Vic,I am using the 1K roofer as well as the 1.8,  2.8,  6.0 and of course for CW as well the 500Hz.
I use my 1Khz mainly for safe ragchewing on CW and also for brick selectivity on SSB but when your use it on voice,you must move the SHIFT to 050 to recover the inteligibility,its very effective reducing qrm from stations at less than 2Khz apart.
