Hi Larry, I do RTTY and SSB contesting too. I settled on the stock 2.7 for ssb ragchewing, 1.8 for ssb contesting, and 250 for cw and rtty contesting. I had some others, but sold them. In the config menu, tell the K3 that the 1.8 is really a 2.1, and tell the k3 that the 250 is a 400. That way, they will switch in at dsp bandwidth of 2.1 and 400 respectively. Those filters sound great that way. The 250, with dsp set at about 350, is nice & flat on the mmtty display over the entire 170 hz distance between the mark & space, and a little beyond.

I want to start and build. I have to start with the K3/100 as 10 watts won't drive my amp. I have a SteppIR so the tuner isn't needed. My question what is the minimum filters. I don't do CW, I do RTTY contests and voice contests.
