Does anyone who has this rig ever feel the need for this optional filter?

If you participate in the big CW contests then it could be worth the investment.

With all the other DSP features and as quiet as this receiver is there is no real need for it. If you have the bucks and want the ultimate go for it but really necessary....no (IMO). 73's  David

If you're a CW op, it's a great investment.

Yes I do operate cw, I'm not a speed freak and don't have big antennas but with the 3000 being discontinued and that filter maybe not being available in the future, I just ordered one.

With the FTdx3000 being discontinued I added the filter now while they are available.  It makes *some* difference.  Not huge, but noticeable.  My antenna is modest so signals are not that strong at my location.
