I'm one of those guys not far from Ed, and I agree with all of his comments. I had the preamp off on 20M; on 80 amd 40M, I had the preamp off and the attenuator engaged. I am VERY pleased with how well the K3 stands up in a crowded band. I have 400 Hz roofing filters in both of my K3s. One of them also has a 1.8 kHz filter, and I'll probably add one to the other one. There were several times last night when I took the IF down to 50 or 100 Hz to pull someone out! 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
