I thought you could transmit via the currently chosen filter - have I missed something? On 29/6/07 09:05, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent: > Is 2.1kHz really overly narrow for SSB transmit? I know people are > talking about 1.8kHz filters for RX, and it seems useless to transmit > e

According to Monica at Elecraft, it's possible to swap the standard 2.7 kHz 5-pole filter for either the 2.8 kHz 8-pole or the 400 Hz 8-pole for an incremental $90 ($30 credit plus the standard $120 charge for 8-pole filters), but only the 2.8 kHz and 400 Hz may be substituted for the st
