[Elecraft] KAF2

Tue Jun 3 21:40:03 2003

I use AF1 and 2 probably equally.  There are times when I
can simply hear weak signals better with AF1.  AF2 seems to
generate a little ringing or additional gain to the
background noise.  If signals are a little stronger and I
need to seperate signals, AF2 is better.  I think it's such
a subjective thing that there is no "right" answer, beyond
what works best for you.
