Normally, when I am operating digital modes, I start out with the full 3.6 kHz bandwidth and only tighten it up when I need to. The "non standard" mode is likely a much better fit for some rigs. In fact, it would seem that some rigs, even some newer ones, would not be able to operate some of the wide digital modes when you read the passband information.
When I look at the specifications of new rigs, I now take that into consideration. ARRL publishes very detailed information on the exact passband for the rigs they test although there is likely some variation with individual equipment. 73, Rick, KV9U John Bradley wrote: > heard your second connect as well, > > as a suggestion make sure that the receive on your rig is as wide as > possible , 3khz or better > > John > VE5MU >
