I found the 1.8k is too narrow for running stations at high rates (>150 per hour) in contests. It's OK when you have time to carefully tune signals (e.g. DXing or S&P in contests), but when callers are slightly off-frequency (as many are in contests), intelligibility suffers which really slows you down. In the CQ WW SSB last year, I quickly stopped using my 1.8k and switched to the stock 2.7k set to DSP 2.0k for the remainder of the contest (won USA SOSB/10 by 30% over the next highest score). I've since installed a 2.1k which I expect will work better for high run rates...will report back after October 28. 73, Bill W4ZV -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Filter-suggestions-for-new-builder-tp7563280p7563341.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
