I would agree with Wayne.
My prime use of my K3/10 is not HF, but with transverters on VHF and
up, typically weak-signal CW. I ordered my K3/10 with the 2.8 and
400-Hz 8-pole filters as a good overall approach. I added 13-KHz for
VHF-FM and occasional BC/SW AM using the gen coverage option board.
I believe this coupled with the variable bw DSP filters will work
well for me. My occasional listening on 20m and 40m CW indicates how
nice the 400-Hz filter works, essentially picking out only one CW
signal in a crowed band. Adding a little NR makes it very
comfortable copy. BTW the NR works nice to quiet down SSB, but then
I am wandering off your subject, Chris.
I have a 30-year old VM-35 Astron that has run all my 100w radios
thru the years. I did blow up the regulator chip trying to use it as
a battery charger.
that ought to cover all the questions!

Hi Chris,
Hope you enjoy your K3.
One thought: If you operate any CW or narrowband data at all, I think
you'll want at least one narrow filter (500 or 400 Hz). It'll make a
huge difference in crowded band conditions. If you're strictly into
voice modes, you can do without.
