filter for only one. It was a total wast of money. For me the filter was too narrow for voice communications and if a nearby station was too close the splatter and the narrow passband made the situation worse. <END SNIP> I have both the 2.1 and the 1.8 filters. They make the difference when there is a big contest underway. The secret is to use the "LO --- HI" adjustments together to "fit" the best audio within the envelope. Its awesome how you can increase the intelligibility while at the same time minimize unwanted adjacent signals. Of course, there is nothing you can do about a strong signal right on you frequency but that's not the fault of the 1.8 filter bandwidth. 73, Fred ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
