One man's simple answer is ... well .. simple. Keep the 2.7KHz 5-p filter. You will find that the DSP provides mighty fine ultimate rejection. In this configuration, the 2.7 filter provides quite adequate protection from strong in-band signals.
If you're a contester, buy one or both of the 1.8 KHz or 2.1 KHz 8-p filters for extra protection. I know I will. Just not sure when. Operating and learning the radio is keeping me too busy for this to be a priority. Right now I only have the basic 2.7KHz 5-p and 250Hz 8-p filters. This might be termed "a basic SSB and a somewhat picky CW" op's choice. It has worked quite well as a combo, so far. Now - if you find yourself freqently or often in the presence of S9+60 filled-with-splatter signals, nothing will help and you'd be better off switching bands. Nothing can help with that. I just came across that with an OT last night, only 1/2 mile from here. Runs a KW to talk across the state. Go figure. matt - WA6EGJ K3 # 24 == On Wed, 05 Dec 2007 23:15:14 -0500, you wrote: >I am looking for a consensus as to the value of switching the stock >2.7Khz for the 2.8Khz filter at time of order and paying the >difference based on a $30 credit?
