I do not know the details, but there is some sort of limitation which prevents the synthesizer from reliably acquiring lock with RX bandwidths greater than 2.8 kHz. I ran into a firmware bug about a year and a half ago (since fixed) that was allowing my 13 kHz FM filter to be selected in CW m

I'll vote with Bill here. Since the CW envelope in the digital number stream is pristine, the filters and any envelope delay can only distort it. In the case of the 2.7, the delay is far enough away frequency-wise from the signal to be insignificant. Given that the filters are subject to manufact

[Elecraft] Filters and Configuration Questions

2011-01-05 Thread Bob Naumann
I've asked about the 2.1 filter before, but here it is again. Will the K3 configuration be changed to allow the selection of the 2.1 filter for transmission purposes? If not, aside from it being some amount of work to allow this, is there a technical reason why not? In other words, would my signal
