SM2EKM: I´m eagerly waiting for measurement figures on the K3. Beats me why they can´t be presented, that I don´t understand at all, after all it´s no rocket sience. I'm surprised that so many roofing filters (and the K3 itself) have been designed and offered for sale before the

Passband ripple is more a function of the filter design parameters--was it designed as a Chebyshev with 1 dB passband ripple, or a Butterworth with a flat passband, or a Gaussian with a rounded passband, etc. And, of course, those parameters govern also how fast the skirts roll off and, of

I was also concerned about so many filters until I realized Elecraft has actually leveraged the Inrad 7XX series of filters offered for the 8.215 MHz IF of the FT-1000 family. I suspect This is an interesting point! Makes me wonder about the 1.8kHz filter for SSB contesting.
