wayne burdick wrote: The most appropriate roofing filter is selected automatically as these controls are rotated. If you have one of our [pending] variable-passband crystal roofing filters installed, then the 1st I.F. bandwidth (crystal filter) will closely track the 2nd I.F. bandwidth (DSP). This is far superior to receivers that have only wide roofing filters and try to do the whole job at the DSP, as well as receivers that simply shift one filter against another at two different IFs. I have been trying to avoid adding to the bedlam, but then you drop a mini-bomb like this "pending" variable passband crystal roofing filter. It would appear to be a good idea not to fill up the roofing filter slots until this is no longer pending. I assume it will be similar to the K2 filters? This is one of those little "gotcha's" that makes me wait until the dust settles to order. --- _____ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ John L.

I HAVE had to spend money to upgrade it, but if I remember, we "pioneers" got 10% off the Field Test rigs, so it was a fair trade-off. -- --- _____ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ John L.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: More Questions: K3
In any case, you're right -- if you like this idea, then reserve at least one crystal filter slot for it.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: More Questions: K3
There are five crystal filter positions per receive. Five on the main, five on the sub. 73, Eric (..now back to finishing that K3 web order page!) - Toby Deinhardt wrote: In any case, you're right -- if you like this idea, then reserve at least one crystal filter slot for it.

Yep - but only two of the five per RX can be variable if I have understood correctly. - Original Message - From: "Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Toby Deinhardt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Elecraft Reflector" Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 6:15 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Re: More Questions: K3 There are five crystal filter positions per receive.
