Re: [Elecraft] Idiom Press SCAF-1
Larry - I have a SCAF-1 that I've used with Ten Tec rigs and it was quite good for cleaning off the high end noise. When I started building my current K2 I thought I would sell it - but changed my mind when another list member reported he was having good results with it on his K2 - it's a pretty useful item. I think in my current K2 I will likely not get the DSP and instal the KAF2 - it will be interesting to see if the KAF2 and SCAF-1 have essentially the same effect. 73/Tim NZC From: Larry - WA2DGD [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2005/01/09 Sun PM 11:38:23 EST To: Elecraft Reflector Elecraft@mailman.qth.net, QRP-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Elecraft] Idiom Press SCAF-1 Hello All, Anyone using the Idiom Press SCAF-1 audio filter with their K2 and/ or older tube receivers?

Re: [Elecraft] Idiom Press SCAF-1
I use the SCAF-1 with my K2 rigs one has the KAF2 and the other has DSP. I find it works very well and complements an already excellent rig. There is absolutely no ringing on CW. For SSB, I find it takes the edge off the high end (hiss) when conditions are noisy. I don't use it with my K2s all the time but there are occasions when it is very helpful. I also use the SCAF-1 on many of my older rigs and it really makes a difference in eliminating a lot of noise and in many cases can drowned out a heterodyne by playing with the amount of filter capture.

Re: [Elecraft] Idiom Press SCAF-1
I use it and like it. I find the SCAF-1 complements the capabilities of the DSP in my K2. - Paul, N6LQ - Original Message - From: Larry - WA2DGD [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Elecraft Reflector Elecraft@mailman.qth.net; QRP-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2005 8:38 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Idiom Press SCAF-1 Hello All, Anyone using the Idiom Press SCAF-1 audio filter with their K2 and/ or older tube receivers?
