Having tried them out in a grim environment, if I were to do it now, I'd go for the 1.8kHz filter. The 2.1 worked well, but intelligebility (sp?) didn't suffer down to 1.8 (which I didn't believe would be the case).

Reading your post, maybe I should consider either a 1.8 or a 2.1 kHz filter too. Given the option, which would choose? Anyone else want to chip in too please. Kind of decision I couldn't make back in May. I opted for the std 2.7K to get the feel of the rig first. I found the dsp filter to be so effective that I'd be hard pressed to go to a narrower filter. But, I'm primarily a cw op with a lot of ssb time. I did find times when I was working between a couple strong stations where the 1.8k would have helped. I am presently ready to order a 250 hz for the cw ops, but again, the dsp works amazingly good at 50 hz. I haven't gotten into a deep CW brawl yet so I'm not sure how much I need the narrow roofing, but my experience in ss phone tells me I need it. I've placed high score in ss phone years ago an I have a feeling that the K3 is going to make that a reasonable expectation in the future. Good luck es CU in the test WA6VNN, Al _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
