Hi Tom:
I have the 2.1 filter with my K3 and it does sound a bit narrow compared to
the 2.1 khz filter that the collins s-line used for years so I wouldn't bother
with the 1.8 khz filter. I've tried a 1.8 filter in an Icom IC-706 and did not
like it either.
Just my 2 cents worth from Fern VE7GZ with K3 #412

I've had 1.8 filters in many different rigs over the years and found that I
rarely used them because, in my opinion, they are too narrow for SSB, making it
sound tinny to me.
