Swap has been arranged. A few asked why I wanted to switch so here's the simple answer. I operate SSB primarily in contests. In the CQWW SSB I found the 1.8k was a little too narrow when running stations at high rates (>150/hr). In contests stations often call slightly off frequency (+/- 100 Hz) and I found myself needing to widen the passband to ~2.0k for best copy (which kicked in the stock 2.7k). In fact I never used the 1.8k much in the entire contest.
When working stations on a single frequency (such as a DX pileup or a net) the 1.8k works fine when you have time to tune carefully. And yes I do know how to adjust HI CUT (and Fc) for best readability at narrow BWs. Hopefully the 2.1k will be a better solution for me in the ARRL SSB DX Contest in March. 73, Bill W4ZV ______________________________________________________________ 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
