further out of the noise than that phantom signal. It just demands a little practice and patience along with fine tuning. If someone wants a lower Q APF with less gain, they should try a dsp width of 50hz without APF. 73, Barry N1EU Ralph Parker wrote: ...perhaps less gain and a little wider BW

centered in the K3 rx passband. The over powering and ringing is by design, to make it effective in popping those tuned-in weak signals out of the noise. The APF was never intended to be left engaged while tuning the band. 73, Barry N1EU Bob Lanning wrote: Is there away for the user to adjust

No, you need to use the same offset values for the same filter position in the main and sub receivers. If the marked offsets aren't too far apart, you can use the average of the two values for both receivers. That works fine for my 500hz and 200hz 5-pole filters. 73, Barry N1EU k5oai wrote
