[Elecraft] K2 filter attenuation

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Believe me, I am SO happy to have the choice of THREE bandwidths in my
humble K1, in a time when other manufacturers only include the SSB
filter in their rigs.

Truer words were never spoken, Andy! 

I have always found the biggest problem to be with very strong signals
in the pass band while listening to a relatively weaker one. It's like
trying to hold a conversation at normal volume at a crowded party while
some loudmouth right behind me is putting out way too many dB talking to
someone else. My brain gets 'captured' by the loudmouth and I can't
concentrate on the quieter voice, even though it is loud enough to hear.


At times like that a good filter is invaluable!  But I like to narrow
down the bandwidth only as much as needed to kill the loud signal(s).
That's just a personal preference, I know. Many operators tell me that
they always work CW with  the narrowest filter they have regardless.
