[Elecraft] CW filter settings. and WinTune

Sun Nov 16 22:04:07 2003

Hi Gang,

 The responses to Carl's question have been very interesting.  I seem to
have read somewhere along the line (but I could be wrong) that Elecraft is
recommending the  OP1 setting for FL1 on CW.  As several posters have
stated, it gets pretty noisy, for me, with that wide of a bandwidth.  I have
my FL1 set at 1.50 and go down to .7 on FL4.  The attenuation factor has
concerned me but I think I will try .1 for FL4.

As an aside, for those like myself who's ears and the 'spot' function don't
get along, I've downloaded a nice little utility for the PC.  Its called
"Wintune" and I wish I could tell you name of the fellow that put it
together.  I think its based around Digipan (the psk31 program) and it puts
up a tiny window anyplace you choose on your computer screen.  It then
visually zero-beats your signal.  Very neat and very accurate.  Again I
apologize to the person who put this together for forgetting his name.

If anyone else can share info on this, it may be helpful to others as
tone-deaf as me.

Thanks for a nice thread.
