[Elecraft] Elecraft AF1 audio filter

2014-01-06 Thread dw
Hi Johnny,
You may try seeing what a choke coil in series with the audio to the
speaker or headphone does for you.  I have the Nescaf filter and really
like it for CW.
In most cases, its cleaner than the available internal audio filters.

But I found that adding a 3mH coil and 15uF cap in series (set for
750hz) makes a significant improvement removing harshness.  

I keep my K2's widest filter as wide as it will go, and the coil takes
care of most of the harshness.

A suggestion for you to check out if interested :-]

[Elecraft] Elecraft AF1 audio filter

2014-01-05 Thread Johnny Siu
Hello Elecrafters,

Is this filter also useful in SSB in terms of giving more listening comfort?  I 
like the selectivity of my K3 but still feel the audio of K3 in SSB is fairly 
harsh.  Hence, I would wonder whether the elecraft AF1 filter will give any 
comfort to my ears.  I do not know whether I am luck because I can still hear 
up to 14KHz.

I also read some reviews about Idiompress SCAF-1 audio filter.  However, apart 
from customer services, my limited technical knowledge cannot let me 
distinguish which filters will suit me better.

Any advice from the elecrafters will be appreciated.
