[K3] Considering the second receiver and 6m preamp

[Jim Low man]

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

Jim,

Based on my experience, if the budget allows, make the second receiver set
the same as the first.

Yes, if you want to use the sub for Diversity reception.

I think it depends on what you want to use the sub-RX for. If it's
mainly for tracking split DX pileups, I think that the stock 2.7k
filter is probably quite sufficient, and fitting a full set of other
filters is nuts! I can see (some) narrow filters being of value for
someone who makes extensive use of diversity RX (with appropriate RX
antennas) in contest-type environments (crowded bands), though...
