Ken, You wmay get a number of different answers on this, but mine would be: max filter width 500 Hz while tuning around, and minimum width 250 Hz. A normal operating setting might be 350-400 Hz. I believe your 200 Hz roofing filter will be too narrow to be useful for RTTY. More importantly, I

Karl, I can only speak for myself, although apparently some have agreed with me. I have ordered one, and when Gary first suggested it, I encouraged him. I do not operate many CW contests, and do not chase DX with a fervor as some do. My preferred width for general CW tuning is 700 Hz. The

More to the point. Examine the filter shape AFTER installation and measure the actual skirt and width installed. I think this will tell what benefit it will be. 73's Gary On Wed, Sep 22, 2010 at 7:39 AM, Andrew Moore andrew.n...@gmail.com wrote: 10/4500 = 0.2% of K3s shipped. Popular?

700 Hz is a useful CW/DATA filter bandwidth, certainly. I'm not surprised that some K3 owners are interested in this. Personally, I prefer much narrow CW/DATA bandwidths, and I use all modes. The lineup I use (and generally recommend) is: FL1 13 kHz (FM) FL2 6 kHz (AM/ESSB) FL3 2.7 or

Hi Don, I agree. That is why I bought a 1 Khz filter when I got my K3 in 2008. I just use the DSP set between 500 and 1000 Hz. My CW operating is about the same as yours. If I need to use a sharper filter than that, it is likely due to QRN rather than QRM, and the DSP works fine for

In general I agree with Wayne although I prefer to have a more narrow bandwidth option for SSB (1.8 or 1.5 KHz). In order to make room for the 1.5/1.8 KHz filter, I deleted the AM filter and use only the FM filter for the low priority modes wider than 2.8 KHz. However, it continues to frustrate
