The KBPF3 modification impacts only the 0.5-2.0 MHz section of the
BPF3.  In essence that section of the filter is converted from an
0.5 - 2.0 MHz BPF to a 0.1 - 2.0 MHz BPF.  IIRC when I modeled the
modification with filter design software, the behavior above 1 MHz
showed little or no change while the low frequency response was
substantially better between 100 and 500 KHz.

If the KBPF3 modification compromises performance elsewhere in the coverage, I 
might be better off using my current approach:  A home-brew transverter for 
630m coverage with a 10.0 - 10.5 MHz IF with home-brew sharp cut off low pass 
filter ahead of the RF input.

[Elecraft] KBPF3 100-400 kHz Modification

2015-12-27 Thread Michael Mussler
I am considering the Elecraft modification to the KBPF3 for 630m coverage on my 
K3. Is there any information published on the band pass filter performance 
before and after the modification?

If the KBPF3 modification compromises performance elsewhere in the coverage, I 
might be better off using my current approach:  A home-brew transverter for 
630m coverage with a 10.0 - 10.5 MHz IF with home-brew sharp cut off low pass 
filter ahead of the RF input.
