K3 400 Hz vs. 250 Hz filters?

[Dave, G4AON]

I wonder if anyone who has both these 8 pole filters would like to
comment on whether the 250 Hz filter makes much difference? I have the
400 Hz one and it certainly makes a difference when the width control
auto switches to that one from the 2.8 KHz filter.

Everyone has there on operating modes and opinions for sure !!

I CONTEST therefore I am .................. not a CQER but  a S&PER though
:-)

Looking for a narrow and high skirted roofing filter ! My first choice was
to just get the standard 2.7 and a 500 Hz 5 pole cw roofing filter.

I have changed my mind. Elecraft is not aware of this fact but they soon
will be :-) Now I am sniffing at the 8 pole filters. I wish there were 300
and 600 for cw but there AREN'T , so ...................

I now want the upgraded 2.8 8 pole SSB filter for the additional $41 !

1.8 for narrow SSB and wide cw!

400 for cw normal.

250 for cw narrow in pile ups and contest dog / cat fights.

for now no SWL stuff or 6 KHz filters and definitely don't want FM :-)

No second receiver planned, no temperature compensated oscillator either
unless the thing drifts all over the band, no ATU as I already have a few
external ATU's around here.  But if you were going to use it at vacation
homes or camping the internal ATU would be a welcome addition.

So, there's one hams opinion .................... he he ! FLAME SUIT ON !!

It's true I'm blind as a bat, but where on the order page does it say you can upgrade from the standard 2.7 five pole to the 2.8 eight pole filter for $41? I was sorta wanting the 2.8 myself...but didn't know it only cost $41 more. Is this true?

Thanks,

Interesting.   Where did you come across the $41 price?  I am replacing the
2.7K with the 2.8K but they are charging me the full $120 for the 2.8K but
they are giving me a $30 rebate for removing the 2.7K.

Five pole vs 8 pole filters ;; $120 - $79 = $41,,,I ordered 8 pole and got
credit for the 5 pole.  However, you will need to call Aptos on the phone,
sweet talk Lisa;; AND send her a DOZEN roses..
Good luck.
