Considering the second receiver and 6m preamp

[K7TV]

Having the same filters in both receivers, especially the cw filters, is a
good idea *if* you will use the second receiver for diversity reception.
However, I don't see why you would want both the 400 Hz and the "250" Hz
filters in any receiver, as the real bandwidth of these filters
(particularly the "250 Hz") is not close to the nominal numbers. In reality
these filters are so close in bandwidth that having both seems redundant for
most usage scenarios. If it were my rig, I would sell one of these filters
and use the proceeds to buy one filter for the second receiver.

>Based on recent comments, it seems that I may well profit from ordering the
second receiver module for my K3.

 

Am I correct that I should also order the same filters (400 Hz/250 Hz,

8-pole)

for the sub-receiver that I have in the main receiver?

 

Thanks and 72/73 de Jim - AD6CW

Thanks, everyone, for the advice.

I think I will start with the 6m preamp and the sub-receiver with only
the stock
2.7 kHz filter and see where things go from there.  That's the beauty of
the Elecraft
line - expandability in hardware and firmware after the initial purchase.
