I was perusing the Sherwood Engineering receiver evaluation
data,
http://www.sherweng.com/table.html , and I noticed
that the K3 2 KHz dynamic range is reported to be
significantly better with the 200 Hz 5-pole roofing filter
than with the 400 or 500 Hz filter.
Then I came across some IMD data on the K3 Wiki,
http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/K3_Roofing_Filters ,
which does not show much difference between those filters,
but has an interesting footnote:
"It should be mentioned that in a published review of the
K3, G4AON observed degradation of close-spaced IMD
measurements with the 400 Hz, 8 pole filter: "These figures
are for a 400 Hz bandwidth with the 8 pole 400 Hz roofing
filter, the rather surprising discovery was the dynamic
range improved by almost 10 dB when the 2.8 KHz 8 pole
filter was selected." G4AON's findings haven't yet been
independently
confirmed however."
Any thoughts on resolving these apparent inconsistencies?
