I was thinking about acquiring either the 250 8 pole or the 200 5 pole. Any thoughts? Dana, K6NR
Hello Dana. At my noisy QTH in Fairbanks, I often use the 200 Hz filter at a BW of 100 to 200 on 160M. I have both the 500 and 200 filters, but to get the QRN down, and maybe improve the S/N, the narrow filter and setting is best on what is often weak DX for me. On my small city lot I use a rotatable receiving loop (Wellbrook), which can hear better than my Inv-L most times. Also play with the AGC Slope (~3), Threshold (~6-8), CW pitch (~450-600 Hz), and filter insertion loss compensation (~4-6 db) to peak the weak sigs. I put the AGC settings on the PF 1-2 buttons for ready access as changes are often required depending upon the condx. 73 Gary NL7Y _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
