Is it possible that your narrow filter has cut off the desired signal? Make sure your CW pitch is reasonable and you've tuned a little bit for the signal with the narrow filter. If your CW pitch is different from where you're listening at a wider bandwidth, the signal can disappear when you

I prefer about 400 Hz, your preference may be different than this. Dick, What process did you go through to arrive at 400 cycles? I ask because I'm relatively new to CW and have experimented with the available frequencies in the K3, and find that if the signal is down in the noise, that

Elecraft believes the 250 hz filter problem is a defective filter, and is sending a new replacement.. Bill, does your CW Skimmer signals stay right on frequency as you switch filters (as happens automatically with changing DSP width when filters are enabled)? Dave, W5UN At 23:03
