So long as the band is not totally chockablock with wall-to-wall sigs, I quite often listen across 2.7kHz width on CW and occasionally I hear people calling me towards the outer edges. Mostly, though, the wide bandwidth allows me to keep an ear on the QRM on either side of me and perhaps to shift my TX frequency to take advantage of the gaps. It takes practice to be comfortable listening in such wide bandwidths, picking individual sigs out by concentrating on their tone, speed, timing and keying characteristics, but it saves a lot of fiddling around with the RIT or split knobs. That said, when things get real tough or I get tired, I'm very glad of the ability to shift the upper or lower limits independently, the very nice narrow roofing filters and amazing non-ringing DSP good down to less than 50Hz bandwidth. 73 Gary ZL2iFB ______________________________________________________________ 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
