One of the things that I have not yet decided is the filters to get for my K3 order. I am firm on getting the 400 Hz 8-pole filter (80 percent or so CW ops). But, I like to scan the band looking for signals with a wider filter, say around 1 to 1.2 KHz. Do I need to get the 1 K filter. If I remember right, I can set DSP filtering to about 1 KHz which may be good enough or is there an advantage to the 1 KHz filter.
Also, is there a good reason to swap out the 5-pole 2.7 kHz filter for the 2.8 KHz 8-pole? I presume this gives the filter sharper skirts so you can cut off those close stations a bit better but I am curious as to how much better. Since the dollar cost differences in decisions regarding filters is not that great I would prefer answers that ignore the cost issue. So far, I am planning on getting the following filters with a ? on the 1 KHz 8-pole and 2.8 KHz 8-pole: 400 KHz 8-pole 1 KHz 8-pole ?? 2.8 KHz 8-pole swap for 2.7 KHz 5-pole ?? 6.0 KHz 8-pole 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
