Filters

Michael Raskin
Hi - I'm new to the list and I want to order all the filters I might need so
I can install them at the same time and not have to open the rig each time.
I operate mainly CW, but also SSB and RTTY.  I am primarily a DXer but a
contester secondarily.  My main bands are the two extremes: 160 and 6.  What
are some recommendations for filters for the main and sub?  I want to opt
for replacing the 5-pole 2.7 with the 8-pole 2.8.  I want the 8-pole filters
but it looks like little difference between the 250 and 400.  Also, is there
much difference between the 1.8 and 2.1?  Definitely want a 2.8 for both
main and sub as well as the 1.0 for the sub when searching on split.  Anyone
have a suggestion for the 6.0 for 6M when activity is low?  What should I
choose for 5 in the main and 5 in the sub?  Should they be all the same?  I
believe all SSB goes through the 2.8 on transmit - is that the same for CW?
Anyone responses will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike, the January issue of QST has an extensive and thorough
review of the K3 and the filters are thoroughly discussed.  You'll
likely find it informative.
