I installed two of the new 200Hz filters in my K3 main and sub receivers a few months ago as part of a major upgrade. Previously my narrowest filters were the 400Hz.
I am very happy with the 200Hz filters and find them very good in contests and pile up situations (when on the receiving end). I generally operate split in such situations and transmit on VFO B and receive on VFO A so that I can tune around the transmit frequency and pick out stations with the very narrow filter. 73 Barry VK2BJ On 29 November 2016 at 10:39, N2TK, Tony <[email protected]> wrote: > Tnx Ian, > On 80 and 160M this past weekend had the filter bandwidth set at 200HZ > most of the time due to the QRN.
