[Elecraft] BFO Dumb Question

Sat Mar 2 22:50:09 2002

I just got done using Spectrogram and aligned the filters to 600 Hz as
suggested in the filter adjustment information on the elecraft site (I also
like 600 hz as well).  I do not get the tone on both sides now, only on the
high side.  It is acting like I am used to with other radios.

Thanks guys for the information!!  When I did the adjustments, I did it on
30 meters using the background noise.  I noticed that the DAC value must be
below the value where the pitch is the lowest on bands lower than 18Mhz and
above on bands above 18Mhz (per the doco).  Do I have to go back and adjust
the filters for the upper bands so that the values are above the DAC?  My
values are as follows (Not CW Rev):

Filter - Lowest Pitch DAC Value - Bandwidth - DAC value
bF1 - 154 - 1.50 - 132
bF2 - 143 - 0.70 - 125
bF3 - 140 - 0.40 - 123
bF4 - 138 - 0.10 - 121

Are these values supposed to change on the upper bands (DAC value above the
Lowest Pitch DAC value)?  Please excuse my ignorance.

Thanks again!
