The Smiths: Routing the sidetone through a filter resonant at the sidetone's pitch always cleans up the waveform and improves articulation. The filter must not be so narrow as to cause ringing however. The K3's sidetone is quiet clean but external audio filtering indeed improves the quality of the note which helps, at least this cw op, send faster with fewer errors. I suppose it could be considered psychoacoustic but it works. N4LQ Steve

It has NOTHING to do with SPOTTING someone, it has NOTHING to do with TONE even, it has to do with Peaking a signal within your current IF passband area regardless of where the IF SHIFT is set, regardless of where your PITCH or TONE is set.. None of these have anything to do with an Audio Peaking FILTER... The on/off button is going to be the Dual PB button.. since that has to do with Filters. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 16:17:10 -0400 > CC: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 APF (audio peaking filter) progress report #2 > > I'm wondering if the sidetone could be routed through the APF?
