Absolutely -- And remember that the receive bandwidth is *not* defined by these filters. The bandwidth is established by the DSP filters. The crystal filters come into play only if there is a signal so extremely strong that it can overwhelm the DSP. The function of the crystal filters is to reduce the strength of such a signal so that it can be handled by the DSP filters.
73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Having the same filters in both receivers, especially the cw filters, is a good idea *if* you will use the second receiver for diversity reception. However, I don't see why you would want both the 400 Hz and the "250" Hz filters in any receiver, as the real bandwidth of these filters (particularly the "250 Hz") is not close to the nominal numbers. In reality these filters are so close in bandwidth that having both seems redundant for most usage scenarios. If it were my rig, I would sell one of these filters and use the proceeds to buy one filter for the second receiver. 73, Erik K7TV Am I correct that I should also order the same filters (400 Hz/250 Hz, 8-pole) for the sub-receiver that I have in the main receiver?
