I too agree use lo/hi cut on ssb. You don't touch lo cut much and get a better sounding experience. I've got a 1.8 but in casual operating rarely get that narrow, get close say 2.0 or 1.9 so my 1.8

What's with the small type size on this thread. I can't read it my iPhone? ...nr4c. bill

Ed is absolutely right about using only HI CUT to make those narrow SSBfilters sound great. By the way, I have some KFL-3A 1.8 KHz filters that are excess to myneeds. $115 each. Free USA

Another consideration in this topic is thenecessity for close zero-beat. Intelligibility decreases rapidly withnarrow filtering when the receiver varies from zero-beat. With a widerfilter a SSB

Hi, Sigh. I couldn't agree more. I have never understood why so many people punish themselves by operating SSB using the SHIFT/WIDTH mode rather than the LOCUT/HIGHCUT mode. AB2TC - Knut ---In

Hi, I just received K3 #8180. I have been a TenTec person for the last 35 years and last august I bought a KX3 and liked it so well I bought the K3. Now I have to go and sell that O2. Regarding

The primary reason narrow IF filtering on SSB decreases intelligibility is that operators narrow the BANDWIDTH rather than simply decreasing HI CUT. Intelligibility is minimally affected down to about

Bob. I run full QSK at those speeds all the time with no issues. Try adjusting your RF and AF gain settings. I keep my RF gain at about half or less and AF gain about one quarter. Also try

I have two "loaded" K3/KRX3s and I agree with a couple minor changes. 1) Instead of paying for "matched" 500 Hz filters, I would use two 400 Hz filters. The skirts are sharper and the passband

After buying a used K3 that included 10 roofing filters for the main and sub receiver, I would: 1. Stay with the stock “SSB” filters supplied with the radio 2. Install two of the 200

Totally agree with what Bob stated. In SSB contests I use the 2.1 filter and have the LO Cut at .35 and the HI Cut usually at 2.25-2.45. Even for casual operating I usually use the 2.1. I see no

Actually, in contest conditions from PJ4G in the ARRL SSB Contest for the past two years, using a 2.1 kHz SSB filter has made a tremendous difference in mitigating nearby QRM and the very high-pitched

Agreed. With the ability to narrow DSP at will, there is little to be gained by further narrow crystal filters in the first IF. The tighter crystal filter will not help when signals overlap not

Ross, I have a K3 with the 2.8 and a 1.8 kHz filter for SSB and I like them both for the purposes that they serve. I listen and work most stations with the wider filter. It serves me as a non

Hi All, I’ve only tried foot switches a few times. My problem with the ones Itried was that I often had to “chase” them all over the floor as they shifted,or got nudged out of place.

Ross The stock 2.7kHz filter (greatly assistedby the DSP) is adequate for a lot of SSB work. You’ll probably get a lot ofdifferent personal opinions on the way forward. My own suggestion is to

I thought you could but haven't tried. 73 Mike R Check out the QRZ app

The macros act the same as pressing the panel buttons. So press M2 and while the audio is playing press M1. If it doesn't chain you can't make it chain by using a simple macro to press the M2 and M1

Yes I was aware that I could repeat a stored message with the Hold function as you suggest. But my question relates to chaining two messages together - its not clear to me if this is possible. Andy

hi i have just got a k3/100w whack is fitted with 2.7 5 pole and was wondering what would be the best filters for sub work and which of the filter locations would be the best positions to
