Re: [Elecraft] OP1 and CW filter gain difference?

2005-04-08 Thread Stewart Baker
Marteinn, The CW filter has a greater signal loss than the OP1 filter mainly because of it's varicap variable bandwidth design. My K2 has about a 6dB loss relative to the OP1. Your CW filter loss of 10dB may be a bit high. I would check the varicap lead orientation. 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Fri, 8
