[Elecraft] CQWW CW WOW!

Thu Nov 28 09:39:01 2002

Hi Tony,

Take a look at my posting to Wim SP5DDJ regarding the 756PRO CW filters. The
steep sloped ones are too steep, and thus the clicking and poping.  The
shallow sloped ones are too shallow, and thus too much adjacent signal
leakage.  The band doesn't matter.  I haven't done any extensive A/B
comparison, but I've used both rigs enough to appreciate the difference.
The K2 just sounds great, even with very close, strong signals.  Maybe the
756PROII with its variable filter slope capabilities will come closer to the
performance of the K2 in CW, but I don't have one to compare.

73,

Rich
