[Elecraft] [KX3] KXFL3 dual-Passband Roofing Filter

2014-06-02 Thread Bill Frantz
My wonderful wife said, Go ahead and order a KX3. Happy Birthday!, so now I am working on options. How valuable is the KXFL3 dual-Passband Roofing Filter? Should I order it now, or see if I need it and order it later? 73, Bill, AE6JV

Joshua, If you have thoughts of doing the extended calibration, know that is not done at the factory for either kits or factory assembled units. OTOH, if you are contemplating the standard calibration, order the filter at the same time as your KX3 and the two will be calibrated together for

The KXFL3 decision is pretty easy. If you plan to use the KX3 only with simple antennas (random wires, loaded verticals, magnetic loops) and for casual QSOs, you don't really need it. Unwanted signals will be weak enough not to overload the DSP. If you plan to use the KX3, even sometimes, with

Joshua, The K3 filter selection and the KX3 filter selection are two different animals. Yes, both will help with AGC 'pumping' in the presence of strong signals close to your operating frequency, but there is much more to the K3 filter selection than for the KX3. The KX3 provides the KXFL3
