Hi Dave: I don't exactly know your operating preferences ...or how (RF) noisy your local environment is etc. ...I wouldn't be comfortable giving you exact recommendations ..What I will say is ...on a technical level ..it's been recommended that you use the same filter configurations for both receivers ....I don't know the bottom line reason ...it seems operationally that it would be simpler and less to remember
What I did was talk to the Elecraft Rep at Seapac last year (when I bought my K-Line). The Elecraft folks are quite genuine in terms of not trying to upsell you what you don't need. Let them know what your operating style is ..and they'll work with you in putting an order together. I wouldn't just go down the order sheet thinking "Hmmm ..do I want this or not?" 73 Steve KL7SB -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Cole Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2014 7:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Current buy configuration As a result of all of you helping me better understand the K3 here is what I have come up with as a buy list for a K3 purchase. I wonder if anyone would not mind looking it over, with an eye towards suggestions to me if you see something I missed. Also a few questions first: 1. Do I need something for the KXV3A Upgrade, or is the original item included with the K3? 2. Is there really much of a difference between the stock 2.7 filters, and the 2.8, 8 pole filters for SSB? I will never be on an island doing a DXpedition. Could I save a few bucks and not get the 8 poles for both RX's? Buy Info follows: Basic Rig: K3/100-F K3 K3 Xcvr KAT3-F K3 ATU KRX3-F Second RX KBPF3 Gen Coverage Module KTCX03-1 K3 TXCO (Is this really needed?) KDVR3 Digital voice recorder KUSB USB Cable for connection to Linux box Panadaptor: P3-F KXV3A (See question above) Filters: MAIN RX Only AM: KFL3A-6K AM Filter, only in Main RX All filters below are in Both Main RX and Sub RX SSB: KFL3A-2.8 2.8, 8 Pole Replacement filter, RX, plus Sub RX KFL3A-2.1 2.1, 8 Pole CW: KFL3A-1K 1 K, 8 Pole KFL3A-400 400 Hz, 8 Pole I may replace the 1K filters with 700 Hz filters, I am still mulling this over, any thoughts would be appreciated. -- Support better RFI practices, please sign this petition: at Whitehouse.gov http://wh.gov/lpz5Y ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
