Hi Bill, The K3 that I take to KP2M has a 2.7, 2.1 and 1.5 filter. During a contest I use the 2.7 and 2.1, but never the 1.5. In rare situations chasing DX I may use the 1.5, but that is mostly to see if it helps.
Hey, anyone want to swap a 2.1 for my 1.5? 73, N2TK, Tony From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bil Tippett Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2012 7:04 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft_K3] Re: K3 Trade my 1.8k for your 2.1k filter 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 __._,_.___ Reply to <mailto:[email protected]?subject=Re%3A%20K3%20Trade%20my%201%2E8k%20for %20your%202%2E1k%20filter> sender | Reply to <mailto:[email protected]?subject=Re%3A%20K3%20Trade%20my%201%2E8k %20for%20your%202%2E1k%20filter> group | Reply <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Elecraft_K3/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJybmZoaDgxBF9TAzk 3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTQ5NDI4BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARtc2dJZAMxMzEzMwRzZWM DZnRyBHNsawNycGx5BHN0aW1lAzEzMjU5Mzc4NjI-?act=reply&messageNum=13133> via web post | <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Elecraft_K3/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZDIyM2Z2BF9TAzk 3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTQ5NDI4BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHB jBHN0aW1lAzEzMjU5Mzc4NjI-> Start a New Topic Messages in this topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Elecraft_K3/message/13126;_ylc=X3oDMTM3b3IycG FtBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTQ5NDI4BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARtc2dJZAMxMz EzMwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN0aW1lAzEzMjU5Mzc4NjIEdHBjSWQDMTMxMjY-> (2) Recent Activity: . <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Elecraft_K3/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJnM2xpcGFsBF9T Azk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTQ5NDI4BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2 bWJycwRzdGltZQMxMzI1OTM3ODYy?o=6> New Members 10 <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Elecraft_K3;_ylc=X3oDMTJmbjg1aDNtBF9TAzk3MzU5 NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTQ5NDI4BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0 aW1lAzEzMjU5Mzc4NjI-> Visit Your Group MARKETPLACE Stay on top of your group activity without leaving the page you're on - Get the Yahoo!
