For this old dog it is great ! I very much like the peak, works very well at pulling the weak signal up for much better copy. Congratulations Elecraft this is a super tool for CW !
Now the bad news. My Yaesu FT1000 was switched in when needed on CW receive just for the APF to pull a borderline CW signal up out of the mud. Looks like he will not be needed anymore. You have been a great radio FT1000 (sniff, sniff ) 73, Bob K6UJ On Nov 4, 2010, at 7:57 AM, Wes Stewart wrote: > To this old dog's ears there is way too much ringing. > > Even in my EME days I never felt the need for these super narrow filters.
