Crystal Filter Setup

pastormg

I  noticed on the K3 utility program that there is a crystal filter setup.  I see both my filters that are installed.  They are a 2.7 and 2.1 SSB filter.  I see that there is a filter offset and also a filter gain.  What are the recommended settings for these 2 options?  Any help would be appreciated.  Mark KB3Z

Re: Crystal Filter Setup

Dick Dievendorff
The filter offset for 5-pole filters (like your 2.7 kHz filter) should be
printed on a paper slip attached to the filter itself.  The 2.1 kHz SSB
filter is an 8 pole filter, and zero is the recommended offset for an 8-pole
filter.

The recommended Loss Compensation (gain) settings for your 2.7 and 2.1 kHz
filters are both 0.

See K3 Utility Help. There's an index entry for "crystal filter
configuration", and that help page describes the recommended offset and
initial gain settings for filters offered by Elecraft. This help information
is derived from the K3 Owner's Manual section under "Configuration",
"Crystal filter Setup" starting on page 46.
