K-3: Best filter for SSB Contesting?
Locked
 
|
Hi Guys,
For SSB contesting: if your K-3 radio had the stock 2.7khz filter and you could only select one optional roofing filter for SSB contesting, would you select the 2.1khz or 1.8khz? I'm mainly a CW operator and have one blank remaining for either a 2.1khz or 1.8khz filter. Thanks for your thoughts! 73, Dick- K9OM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

1.8
Fake K3 into believing it's a 2.1 Sounds great for ragchewing and contesting.

Excellant suggestion - I just moved mine from 1.8 setting to 2.0 setting a
week ago and I like it a lot better - I may try 2.1 too just to see. Gives me the filtering and makes it more understandable (at least for my old damaged ears). Also just bought a 500 (565) to go with my 250 (370). Just changed the 250(370) setting to 400 before the last RTTY contest. I like it a lot better that way too (at least until I get the 500 and get it installed). 73, de Jim KG0KP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Hachadorian" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]>; "Elecraft Reflector" <[hidden email]> Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 10:24 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K-3: Best filter for SSB Contesting? > 1.8 > > Fake K3 into believing it's a 2.1 > > Sounds great for ragchewing and contesting. > > Dave Hachadorian, K6LL > Yuma, AZ > > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: <[hidden email]> > Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 8:37 PM > To: <[hidden email]> > Subject: [Elecraft] K-3: Best filter for SSB Contesting? > >> Hi Guys, >> >> For SSB contesting: if your K-3 radio had the stock 2.7khz >> filter and you >> could only select one optional roofing filter for SSB >> contesting, would you >> select the 2.1khz or 1.8khz? >> >> I'm mainly a CW operator and have one blank remaining for >> either a 2.1khz >> or 1.8khz filter. >> >> Thanks for your thoughts! >> >> 73, >> Dick- K9OM >> ______________________________________________________________ >> Elecraft mailing list >> Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft >> Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm >> Post: mailto:[hidden email] >> >> This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net >> Please help support this email list: >> http://www.qsl.net/donate.html >> > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Do not hesitate: 1.8khz then with the K3 utility you modify the start point to 2.1, you will see the improvement in strong interferences.

The 1.5k is out of stock and not be sure it will be availble from INRAD anymore.
http://www.inrad.net/product.php?productid=299&cat=140&page=1 Personally I have ordered the 1K as it starts at bw60= 1.650 and will program it at 1.6K to use it for both cw & ssb http://www.inrad.net/product.php?productid=156&cat=140 Some mentionned in the qth.net they have already tested this method, who seem given good results in severe ssb interferences. Will see when the filter will be on my desk and intalled. 73's Philippe A65BI K3#3616 >>> Brett Howard <[hidden email]> 12-03-2010 12:01 >>> I'd select the 1.5K filter.... ~Brett On Thu, 2010-03-11 at 22:37 -0500, [hidden email] wrote: > Hi Guys, > > For SSB contesting: if your K-3 radio had the stock 2.7khz filter and you > could only select one optional roofing filter for SSB contesting, would you > select the 2.1khz or 1.8khz? > > I'm mainly a CW operator and have one blank remaining for either a 2.1khz > or 1.8khz filter. > > Thanks for your thoughts! > > 73, > Dick- K9OM > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
