> 270 x 2 = 540, so the difference is 356Hz. ;-)
However, the 250 Hz filter is actually 370 Hz at the - 6dB
points according to previous e-mail here.
With the K3, the point of diminishing returns for IMD (and
close in rejection) is perhaps - 30dB instead of -60dB or
more in a conventional crystal filter only radio.
If we use a straight line (linear slope) from the -6dB to
-60dB points the 200 and 250 Hz filters look like this:
200 250
-------------------------------------------------
- 6dB 224 Hz 370 Hz
-60dB 896 Hz 777 Hz
slope 6.22 Hz/dB 3.77 Hz/dB (one side)
-10dB 274 Hz 400 Hz
-20dB 398 Hz 475 Hz
-30dB 522 Hz 550 Hz
-40dB 647 Hz 626 Hz
-50dB 771 Hz 702 Hz
By this simple calculation (or by plotting on graph paper) one
can see that the 200 Hz filter should do a BETTER job as the
most "narrow" filter. It remains "tighter" to about -35 dB
and the five pole design should result in less pulse stretching
(ringing in the presence of static) than the 250 (really 350 Hz)
filter.
