Re: [Elecraft] New from Elecraft: High-Performance 200-Hz, 6-pole Crystal Filter

Typical loss of the 5- and 6-pole 200-Hz filters is about the same. I believe we do have enough DSP-based gain compensation for all filter types, but I'll ask our techs to verify this. The noise figure of the radio is established ahead of the crystal filters, so moderate loss in the filters

The 6-pole filters have an offset (like the 5-pole). The offset is clearly marked on the filter and can be entered into the filter configuration page using K3 Utility. This has no effect on performance. 73, Wayne N6KR On Apr 15, 2016, at 4:52 AM, Lou Voerman W2ROW wrote: >

I have one quick question about the 6 pole filter. Will it have an offset like the 5 pole filters or will the offset be zero like the 8 pole filters? Thanks, Lou W2ROW -- View this message in context:

The plots have a disclaimer that one can't compare the passband attenuation for the filters. Some of us have noticed that with the old 200 Hz 5 pole filters the amount of gain available to compensate for it was not enough. I observed that here by comparing SPECTROGRAM peak outputs per

Hi Wayne, excellent! It will be helpful to all who wanted the old 5-poles/200Hz obsolete option... Is is possible to see also the comparison plot for new KFL3C-200 vs old 5-poles/200Hz please? Many thanks, 73 - Petr, OK1RP - http://ok1rp.blogspot.com -- View this message in context:
