K3 Question
Locked
 
|
Greetings. I've read through the FAQ and have one question which may
sound basic and silly, and I hesitate to ask. With the stock roofing filter and the DSP functions, can I expect comparable or better CW performance to what I have with my Kenwood 850 with a 500 Hz crystal filter? I want to get a K3 badly, but I don't want to fork out the extra dollars up front for a 250 Hz or 500 Hz roofing filter. (Certainly later I will get one of these and perhaps a 6 kHz filter for listening to AM.) My guess answer to this question would be yes, but I haven't had the opportunity to see a K3 in action. Thanks in advance for any feedback. 72 Goody K3NG K1 #505 K3 #??? -- Blog: http://thek3ngreport.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Goody,
A TS-850 is one of the rigs I have not owned, so cannot make a definitive comparison. But....get it with the stock filter. If you feel you need more help with the stronger signals, then get the narrower roofing filter. Or if they're available by then, one of the variable BW roofing filters. 73 Greg AB7R -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]]On Behalf Of Goody K3NG Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2007 9:38 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Question Greetings.

Keep in mind however that to really realize the K3's potential when
operating CW you really should have either the 500, 400, 250 or 200 Hz filters installed, depending on your operating preferences. With this installed, you will be way ahead of the 850's performance, as well as just about every other rig (if not all).....final number not "quite" ready yet. :) 73 Greg AB7R -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]]On Behalf Of Goody K3NG Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2007 9:38 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Question Greetings.
