Jaime . . . Many FT-1000D owners (and non-owners who have used them) have urged implementation of an Audio Peak Filter in the K3 for weak-signal CW work. Only those who have used a 1000D can appreciate why this request keeps recurring. It has nothing to do with fondness for a venerable old rig, and everything to do with the performance of the APF.
I continue to marvel at the way white noise and miscellaneous garbage are eliminated at the 50 cycle setting of the K3's DSP. But as good as it is, the signal remains what it is -- there is no peaking as there is with the 1000D. Several of us have discussed this with Wayne from the first days of production, and while it may someday be addressed further, for now the issue is moot. 73, Kent K9ZTV K3 #21 Jaime P.Ullivarri wrote (with word insertions by K9ZTV to improve the English): > . . . but for CW the old firmware with narrow roofing filters looks to me but > a bit better > than the old FT-1000 Peak Filter which was very good for 160M. > Maybe it could be added in a future firmware revision for CW operators -- a > digital > Peak Filter with results similar to the previous NR.
