Go back to filter settings and set the bandwidth of the 1.8 filter a bit wider, say 2.1. Then use the hi/lo adjustments during operation. Typically I keep the low full and gradually lower the hi settings. When you get the filter narrow enough the K3 will automatically switch from the 2.7 to the 1.8 filter. Several experienced users recommended this to me and it works well.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2010 3:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Roofing Filter Usage I purchased a K3 with the standard 2.7 Khz SSB filter plus the 1.8 Khz SSB filter. I did not purchase a cw filter because I operate very little cw. But that may change. The 2.7 is in slot #1 and the 1.8 is in slot #2. I know that if I push the FILT button that I can switch filters. But I was experimenting around listening to a weak station that was rather close to a real strong station and when I activated the 1.8 Khz filter I was still getting some carryover from the strong station on the weak station. Are there other controls that I need to use that would enable me to knock out the real strong station so that I could clearly hear the weak station? I'm sure there is help in the manual but I certainly can't find it. Any help would be much appreciated. Oh and by the way, I love the radio. It's like a breath of fresh air compared to my Kenwood TS0480s.
