I have macros built in HRD that allows me to quickly center a PSK RX and then I pop to mhy 200 hz filter to work them when every the adjacent signals are messing with my decode. I constantly change between many filter choices as necessary via macros in the software.
I bought the 200 hz filter last year at Dayton after Wayne spent a few minutes of time with me explaining how to use the filters better to my advangate. Now I don't care what the other guys do because the K3 just does what it does best. ~73 Don KD8NNU On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 7:45 AM, briana wrote: > Guys, > > This rational is bogus.
