[Elecraft] K3 Narrow CW Filter

2009-02-02 Thread John Huffman
I'm getting used to my new K3, but have a question. My K3 has the 400hz 8-pole filter and the latest firmware. I've noticed that the difference between running the DSP filter at 100hz and 150hz is greatly increased volume at 150hz. With the NR on (F2-4) easy listening at 100hz will bow your

Thanks to all for the replies. Stewart identified the problem. It was self-inflicted. I had set the RX EQ to optimize the CW shift frequency and retard all other frequencies. Undoing that solved the problem. Thanks!! As for DSP and narrow CW bandwidths, it is the smart squelch that I am
