Subject: [Elecraft] Tweak for phone?
Interesting weekend. First time I've had strong enough
signals at the K3 that I felt like I was pushing it at
all.
I have my K3 configured with only a 250 Hz for extra
filters, ridiculously narrow for everyday CW, great in a
contest! I have no other SSB
signals with much louder signals 1.5 KHz away,
which is pretty darn good.

I have the 1.8 filter and I will have to look for that sweet spot.
Like K6LL, I found my sweet spot with FC=1.1Khz. I went with width at 1.5
or 1.7Khz all weekend.
I came up with one neat trick that I honed in the contest and that worked
very well to pull out
I noticed when I tried to narrow the passband from the 2.7
nominal that the signals often decreased in intelligibility.
I used 1.8 K filters on my Yaesu FT 1K. I also notice I was
not tuning dead on to SSB signals, I seemed to be off to the
side emphasizing hi end response. I could hear
I have a much easier time using HI CUT and LO CUT on SSB than attempting
to use WIDTH and SHIFT. Every time the width is changed, the center
frequency must be changed as well to maintain intelligibility. I use HI
CUT to reduce the QRM coming in at a high audio frequency and then use
LO CUT
Thanks to everyone for insignt on this, has anyone found a better AGC setup for
phone? Being a long time VHFer I decided to be seious in a HF phone contest for
the first time in 30 years. I've used my K3 for three cw contests and even
though I'm a poor cw op, the K3 made coping so easy I
I'm not fond of SSB contests so I only ordered the 2.8 KHz filters for
SSB when I bought my K3 (I do have the 250 Hz filters for CW). I had a
change of heart at the last minute, though, and ordered two of the 1.5
KHz 8-pole filters from Inrad last Wednesday. They arrived in the mail

I swear some people must simply crank up the mic gain and compression
until the output power stops increasing.

Sometimes the voice is OK but when they put on their voice keyers they
are overmodulating and splatter like hell!
