"I don't have any roofing filters. (I figured any stations weak enough for me to need the filter to hear, would never be able to hear me anyway)."
Sorry, but I don't understand that logic. Let's say that you and I are the only ones on the band and we're both weak but readable for each other. A powerful third station fires up 5 kHz away from us, but the skip is such that he is much stronger for you than he is for me. I can still hear you fine but you can no longer hear me. Roofing filters are your friend. They won't do a thing for splatter but they will greatly enhance your rig. 73, Dave AB7E On 10/8/2012 10:46 AM, [email protected] wrote: > A recent KX3 owner (# 1677), I've noticed hearing out of passband signals > from loud CW stations.
