I am a new owner of a slightly used K3, SN #1391 and I have the 2.8 khz and the 2.1 khz and I think that between the two of them for SSB, I have an awesome setup. I am curious about the difference between the 2.1 khz and the 1.8 khz but not enough to make the purchase decision at this point. I think it is probably not an educated recommendation to make but I will do so anyway. I really like the 2.1 khz filter and end up using it all the time and it does make a difference to me in more crowded band conditions. I have not owned it long enough to comment on how it performs in contests. Maybe then I will be wishing I had the 1.8 khz filter instead of the 2.1 khz filter. Good luck with your investigation.
