I have a curiosity question. Why is the KXFL3 roofing filter an option on the KX3? I mean, why is it not a built-in feature of the KX3? First, I already own a KX3 with the KXFL3 filter so I am not asking this in order to choose to buy or not. Caveat: I am also a neophyte (philistine, ignorant, or troglodyte) in this sort of radio technology and still in learner mode.
But, it seems to me that the KXFL3 roofing filter is almost required with a radio as nice as the KX3. Without it, as I understand the function, any crowded band interval like a pileup or close-in CW signals and such would render a KX3 (without the roofing filter) with less than the usual Elecraft stellar RX performance. My guess, and this is only a wild guess, is that maybe the option leads this space open to future improved roofing filters? Or, maybe even leave it open to a 3rd party market supplied filter (although, I think this filter is particularly different from other typical 3rd party filters). 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ 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]
