Wow! I find this amazing. I have just never used a pitch that low. I will have to try it I guess. Seems like I am way higher than normal at 800 Hz. I like a wide filter most of the time also: 2 KHz & 1 KHz most of the time, seldom dropping to 0.5 or 0.2. Is a low pitch better for weak signals? I guess I never knew that. 73, Drew AF2Z _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
