Byron, Yes, if you select anything other than the 2.7/2.8 filter for CW transmit, you will receive an error. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/21/2018 4:48 PM, Byron Peebles wrote: I would add that changing the TX FLT to something else generates an error when I try to use it. 73, Byron On 08/21/2018 04:

Byron, You are assuming that the CW signal shape is controlled by the TX filter. It is not - that is done in the DSP and produces a clean single frequency signal that is quite good at TX phase noise and keying artifacts. As long as that signal fits within the bandpass of the filter all will be

As I understand it, the K3 generates a very clean CW signal with DSP. There isn’t anything to filter out. A narrow filter might add distortion and make things worse. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Aug 21, 2018, at 1:42 PM, Byron Peebles wrot

Don: I do understand it works, since every unit is shipped that way. My question is more in the vein of wouldn't using a 1kHz or less filter be safer/cleaner/logical for CW? Obviously, not as a factory default, since only one filter is sure to be there, but on a per-user basis. I thought y

Byron, The K3/K3S is designed to use the filter that is installed "stock" in all transceivers, so you need to select the 2.7 (or 2.8) filter for CW (or any other mode except AM, FM or ESSB) for transmit. Requiring a 1kHz filter for CW transmit would require that filter be included in the bas

I have noticed that Elecraft K3/K3S defaults to setting the wide SSB filter as the CW TX filter. Is there a technical reason for doing this? Would it be better to use a 1kHz filter or one of the narrow CW filters? Thanks, in advance. 73, Byron NZ3O __

Ah... I tried setting to the 6 for SSB but the configuration option in the utility won't let me do so and it requires I use the 2.8 for both SSB and CW. Guess that answers for the CW anyway but I'll have to re-read what to do regarding ESSB. Sorry for taking up the bandwidth... Gary KA1J >

I have the 6KHz, 2.8KHz, 1KHz and 250Hz filters installed. I'm using the crystal configuration option and will be selecting the 6Khz for Tx SSB & o'course AM but which should I select for CW? Thanks! Gary KA1J ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecra
