OK folks.
That makes good sense to me. I have been arguing the consequences of
using a wide filter mainly to enhance awareness of the facts as I know
them. I really have only sketchy information at this point (no

Yes, it has a legitimate use. It indicates when one person stops talking

As an Orion owner considering the K3, I am aware of quite a few folks in

You seem to think the only time someone is going to
use wider bandwidths is on a packed band.
I personally only get on 80 or 40 on weekends, in the

You can say ssb is a waste, since its much wider than

The first time (some years ago) I looked at the K2 as a possible

which makes it more difficult.
Just push it on, pushing at each screw locatio
