Re: [Elecraft] Why no love for the 1khz CW filter?

That raises an interesting question. Looking at Rob's numbers (assuming I've read the chart footnotes correctly) he's done the close in numbers for the KX3 with and without the roofing filter. But the close in numbers for K3S numbers were only done with the cw roofing filters. Is there

Re: [Elecraft] Why no love for the 1khz CW filter?

I have a 1k filter. Does it make much difference. I have no clue really. Would I be better served with an FM filter? maybe . My main receiver has 2.8. 1.8. 1.0 400 and 250 or 200 filters. I do ssb contest and travel to DX locations from time to time. The SSB filters are essential. For CW

Hi Andy, several replies giving you an ideas over here. Refer to Jim, K9YC...it is short and clear. I am recommending you to simply stay calm. Turn your radio ON, sit and play... Use it daily in different situation for few months then you will be more familiar with radio and all functions

Re: [Elecraft] Why no love for the 1khz CW filter?

Some of us deliberately operate with the roofing and DSP at the same bandwidth, and with some care to get the skirts coincide. This provides the maximum possible drop at the edges, quite useful in a crowded contest. I want to hear equally well in a specific bandwidth, and then I want the

Just turn the DSP Filter knob to whatever width you like. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Jan 31, 2017, at 9:07 PM, > wrote: > > I just got my new (used) K3/10 in the mail yesterday and have been having a > blast with it. It came

Re: [Elecraft] Why no love for the 1khz CW filter?

Andy, For normal operating, you will not find the 1kHz filter any more beneficial than using the 2.7 (or 2.8) roofing filter. The ultimate selectivity is provided by the DSP bandwidth, and not the roofing filter. The reason for the more narrow roofing filter is to provide isolation from

[Elecraft] Why no love for the 1khz CW filter?

I just got my new (used) K3/10 in the mail yesterday and have been having a blast with it. It came with the 2.8 SSB filter and the 400 hz CW filter and I have been told by a couple friends on the air who also have K3s that that’s all I need. But...nature abhors a vacuum. On my filter board. I
