Chuck, I do outset the passband in ECSS, but generally not as much in the AM mode. Is what your saying is, if I don't outset the passband in the AM mode, in reality I have about 1.2 khz on each side? If that is the case, no wonder it is tight. In the case of the SPR4 there in no passband tuning

All you guys with 390A wrist should get a nice SP-600, for comfort they are the Cadillac of receivers and work very well on splits, Bob Young Millbury, Ma KB1OKL From: Mike Stonebridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of Americairca@hard-core-dx.com

Bob, I had a SP-600 for a long time and the Crystal filters are excellent. The only reason I got rid of it was I needs a noise blanker to take out electric fence noise. But I will agree. A few good receiver. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager

Bob, Yes, the skrits are not as tight, as my R8 or even the SPR4, but in some cases that is better. I find some of the really tight filters to be rougher in DXing in AM as you get the signal, but understanding the audio is another issue. Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager

Rick, The mod on the SPR4 enabled the 2.3 crystal filter to work on AM. It is one tight filter too.But too tight to understand some weaker audio. The SP-600 had the 2.3 Crystal filter too, but it was not quite as narrow. The 2.3 L/C 50 khz IF filters in the R8 are too tight too, so I tune in ECSS
