Re: [Elecraft] Intermod filter for the KX3

If the interference is a product of 2 or more out of band signals mixing together, then a band pass filter would help.    If this the case, use of noise reduction or noise blanking in the KX3 will likely make the issue worse, not better.     One test is to use a step attenuator between the ante

Rather than band pass filters, maybe try a good ‘ole low pass filter? Won’t work on two meters or maybe six meters, but I suspect most of the ambient RF is up in the VHF/UHF or above. And if it’s in-band interference, a band pass filter won’t help either. Used for the opposite reason - protect

Mike, What you’re describing sounds like noise that is in-band and would be debilitating for any radio. Not intermod. But just to be sure, set MENU:RX SHFT to 8.0 and turn off the noise blanker. This is the most resilient setup if you have monster signals actually causing IMD. Also try turni

Hey group I have an issue here and am wondering if a good band pass filter would help? I pick up so much sqawks and buzzing weird interference, grating machine sounds, on my KX3 on all HF bands, it is horrible in my setting (ground floor apartment in the city). I have the same issues on 2 meter han
