Just my (unsolicted) two-cents comment: I find using below 2.1 KHz (with the DSP filter) distorts SSB too much for me. I have only the 2.8 and 0.400 KHz filters at this time. If I were to buy another it would be 2.1. Folks should factor in that I am 67 and have extreme hearing loss so your experience my vary (I have to use captioning on TV). (hint) Before purchasing a roofing filter check out using the DSP filter to decide which bw is best for you.
I am only a casual user of HF so intense high-density contesting or DXing is not my forte. Operating a little in FD gives me enough of a taste and the K3 is a real "joy" to use under tough conditions. Mostly, I am copying extreme-weak signals (VHF+) where narrowing bw makes the difference (typ 2.1 for SSB and 100-200 Hz for CW). But I start at 2.8-KHz when searching for weak CW, then switch to 400-Hz filter and use the DSP filter to improve readability (signals below noise) once I found a signal. ------------------------------ Message: 43 Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 10:27:05 -0500 From: "Joe Subich, W4TV" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Filter question - SSB To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I would not go any tighter than 1.8 KHz.
