Swap has been arranged. A few asked why I wanted to switch so here's
the simple answer. I operate SSB primarily in contests. In the CQWW SSB I found the 1.8k was a little too narrow when running stations at high rates (>150/hr). In contests stations often call slightly off frequency (+/- 100 Hz) and I found myself needing to widen the passband to ~2.0k for best copy (which kicked in the stock 2.7k). In fact I never used the 1.8k much in the entire contest. When working stations on a single frequency (such as a DX pileup or a net) the 1.8k works fine when you have time to tune carefully. And yes I do know how to adjust HI CUT (and Fc) for best readability at narrow BWs. Hopefully the 2.1k will be a better solution for me in the ARRL SSB DX Contest in March. 73, Bill W4ZV ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

I set my 1.8 to 2.0 for the cut in frequency. I also set my 500 to 600 and
my 250(actually is a 370) to 400. I had thoughts of adding a 1.0 but wound up with the FM instead. I thought 5 filter slots was great excess and now I want 7. 73, de Jim KG0KP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bil Tippett" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]>; <[hidden email]> Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2012 6:04 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Trade my 1.8k for your 2.1k filter > Swap has been arranged.

Hi Bill,
The K3 that I take to KP2M has a 2.7, 2.1 and 1.5 filter. During a contest I use the 2.7 and 2.1, but never the 1.5. In rare situations chasing DX I may use the 1.5, but that is mostly to see if it helps. Hey, anyone want to swap a 2.1 for my 1.5? 73, N2TK, Tony From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Bil Tippett Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2012 7:04 AM To: [hidden email]; [hidden email] Subject: [Elecraft_K3] Re: K3 Trade my 1.8k for your 2.1k filter Swap has been arranged.
