That raises an interesting question. Looking at Rob's numbers (assuming I've read the chart footnotes correctly) he's done the close in numbers for the KX3 with and without the roofing filter. But the close in numbers for K3S numbers were only done with the cw roofing filters. Is there with/without roofing filter data available for the K3S I missed? I realize the proof is in the performance, but still, inquiring minds and all that..... Cheers Scott ka9p In a message dated 2/1/2017 9:51:57 A.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
I have a 1k filter. Does it make much difference. I have no clue really. Would I be better served with an FM filter? maybe . My main receiver has 2.8. 1.8. 1.0 400 and 250 or 200 filters. I do ssb contest and travel to DX locations from time to time. The SSB filters are essential. For CW I honestly think that the 400 is fine for most. I dislike the sound when I really crank the skirts down on CW but sometimes you must so it is nice to have it. If you plan to do diversity receivers you need the same filters in each one and they need to be "matched" as close as possible to get the best results. 2.7 and 400 and and FM filter if you want fm and or AM would be fine for many.
