Yup. Lower wattage supply uses smaller componets which allows the inclusion of
filter components (presumably due to more room in chassis space and components
budget). It's a hypothetical model, as I've never taken one of these big

I suppose there is PTT mode for CW also and you are right that in such

I loaded new wares 1.58 and 1.48.
From Elecraft page this change was e.g. for 100 and 50Hz
DSP-filters.
My experience is, that both filter outputs were now
considerably attenuated.
Apparently I should install the old ones, which
is not recommended.
Anybody else have noticed a change?
Benny OH9NB
John makes a good point. The K1 and KX1 already have much better
receivers than most QRP rigs. With those rigs, the ability to make
contacts is limited much more by transmitter power than by receiving
capability.
On the other hand, DSP noise reduction sure does reduce operator fatigue

If you switch the DSP by tapping 7 while in the filter menu and have
