I feel that this discussion hit the nail on the head only when it combined the environmental filtering with the peak as in the FT-1000D. Going back to the bad old days of a peaky xtal filter in a super wide environment is something I don't wish for. The KX-1 is my favorite portable for its lightness, but it reminds me of those old rigs: Either the peak is too narrow or the environment is too wide. A square bandpass as offered by the K3 without APF, or even the 500 Hz square bandpass offered by my FT-817, is far better when it comes to making this operator comfortable. 73, Erik K7TV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
