Hi All, a couple reasons that stand out for me are that I like or love width and shift and if you notice all or most other rigs have done away with them. Oh yeah, their replaced by lo/ high cut or dual passband tuning. A lot of elecrafters say that it's not needed on ssb that lo/ hi cut is much easier on ssb ( not cw) but that don't CUT it for me. Pun intended. I really like the fact that the shift is numbered. I have a little chart with which shift works best with corresponding width.
2. I like the idea of narrow roofing filters although havnt proven their $130 value on ssb and I find myself using a width of 1.6 a lot on ssb. 3. I like the idea of being able to use a multitude of different microphones and not having to shell out $150-$200 on a good mic. 73 Mike R K3 5047 Sent from my spy ring ______________________________________________________________ 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
