Re: [Elecraft] ESSB and the 6 kHz Filter

David,

Yes, you need the 6kHz filter for ESSB.  The 2.8kHz filter will strip it 
down to 2.8kHz.

Unlike AM, receive bandwidth will never go to 4KHz in ssb.  For some
unknown reason, the receive bandwdith in ssb is restricted to about
3300Hz.  My weekend project proving this point is visible at
http://k3s.wikidot.com

Re: [Elecraft] ESSB and the 6 kHz Filter

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Using the K3 Utility, in checking the Filter Config list, while I do 
have the 6.0 kHz filter installed, I must select the 2.7 kHz or 2.8 kHz 
for CW and SSB transmit.


Then from the CONFIG menu ESSB I can select up to 4.0 kHz bandwidth.

Receive BW on AM will go to 5.0 kHz and on SSB 4.0 kHz.

The K3 and K3S use the AM TX filter for ESSB wider than 2.8 KHz.


Receive BW on AM will go to 5.0 kHz and on SSB 4.0 kHz.


Receive audio bandwidth will never go beyond 4.2 KHz as there is a
fixed, audio lowpass filter following the digital to analog converter.
In any case, the true audio bandwidth is FC +/- BW/2 for all modes.

Even in AM the maximum value for BW is 4.00 (4 KHz) representing
a recovered audio bandwidth of 0 - 4000 Hz or 200 - 4200 Hz. If
FC (shift) is lower than 2.00, the actual bandwidth will be less
than 4 KHz even when BW = 4.00 due to the formula above (FC +/- BW/2).

  ... Joe, W4TV
