Grant et al; I can agree that many hams do not understand the application of "filters" in a radio, specially today with the advancements in DSP technology.  I find today that many many hams rely on "old school methodology" to justify what they do.  They, for the most part, seem to shy away

Just an opine. Since these are ROOFING filters, and not the means of determining the radio’s ultimate selectivity, you may not notice a substantial performance improvement of the radio with 8-pole vs 6-pole filters. I have my flame suit on, just in case — (it can be almost guaranteed to be

I think Elecraft altered their filter array recently ( maybe 1-2 years) and maybe the order page hasn’t caught up. I believe they discontinued some and added some 6-pole filters. I think that is what you have. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Feb 23, 2019, at 3:36 PM, Carl Jón Denbow

The "previous" web site used to implicitly say which filters were 5 pole and which were 8 pole on the ordering page. The new "improved?" website omits this information. Looking to answer the same question recently I had to resort to looking elsewhere on the web! Dave Ww2r >Bill, >Thanks for

Is your filter in a metal can. Eight pole filters used to be in a can. Five pole filters were exposed parts. If the later, count the crystal cans. Should be 5, 6, or 8. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Feb 23, 2019, at 1:44 PM, Carl-N8VZ wrote: > > I’m assembling a KRX3 second
