Yes, Johnny. the idea is to have the same offset for both filters. That is why many people get the 8-pole filters for main and sub RX. They have (near) zero offset. You two 5-pole filters are a considerable distance apart in offset. (700 Hz) I do not know what is "acceptable" for a difference, as you will be shifting each of these 350Hz from optimum. (-.59 offset). Perhaps someone else may be able to comment on this. Another possibility is perhaps to trade one filter with someone else (or Elecraft) for one closer in offset. I have 8-pole filters in my main and sub RX, so I have no personal experience with this.
GL, Bruce, N1RX _____ From: Johnny Siu [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2011 11:51 AM To: Bruce Beford; [email protected] Subject: Diversity reception - KRX3 Bruce, Its all right. I need to read the K3 manual a couple of times to get the answer as well. I do have another question. The offset of the K3 main 2.7Khz filter is -0.24. Since I bought my KRX3 at a later stage so that I do not have a match pair of 2.7Khz filters. The offset of the 2.7Khz filter in KRX3 is -0.94. >From my reading of the manual, for diversity reception, I should set the off-set of both receivers at an average of -0.24 & -0.94. I just do not know whether my understanding is correct. Any idea?
