That Elecraft is testing the filters now is a good thing! I remember a post from Elecraft a few months ago, that said that I should not use the 8.2M IF filters that were intended for Yaesu's FT1K because the filters for the Elecraft K3 were specially selected to get top performance.
The recent messages of bad filters, 8-pole and 5-pole, seem to contradict that. Or do filters break down during transport? Anyway, awaiting my new K3 with several filters within a few weeks from now, I expect that my filters are thouroughly tested for flatness, good imd-performance and are handpicked for top performance.... As promised. Or is this an impossible, strange question? Then please say so. 73 Arie PA3A K2 36..something (BTW, I've got four 8.2M IF filters in my FT1K) -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft Verzonden: zaterdag 21 juni 2008 5:00 Aan: David Robertson CC: Elecraft Onderwerp: Re: [Elecraft] Bad Filters We do now! Originally all 8 pole filters were supposed to be 100% tested at INRAD's supplier. When we discovered some bad ones had gotten through, we added 100% testing at Elecraft and at INRAD in Aptos. 73, Eric WA6HHQ _..._ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
