I am about to order filters for the K3 and need some final advice.  I have
the capability for diversity reception on 160 and 80 and am wondering what
is the best filter pair to use for CW.  Price really doesn't enter into the
equation as a pair of matched 5-poles filters are about the same price as a
pair of 8-pole filters.  What are your recommendation if I were to get only
one pair of filters?  Is there any real value to getting a pair of narrow
(200Hz or 250Hz) filters as well as a pair of the wider (400Hz or 500Hz) CW
filters, or am I just wasting money?  Is there a noticeable difference
between the 5-pole and 8-pole filters?  I would appreciate hearing from
someone who has already gone through this and it would save me a lot of
mental anguish!

Mike, W4UM
