[1000mp] IF Shift/Width

Wed, 30 Jan 2002 22:39:24 -0500

Different strokes for . . . .

I use band-reject contour, USB cw, and shift/width end up ccw: width at 
10:30 and shift at 11:30 with 500hz filtering.  I know that K6SE prefers 
much narrower filtering.

It's definitely worth experimenting with!  If interested, I've compiled a 
lot of tips that have appeared on the reflector over the past few years 
which can give you a few things to try (URL below).
