[Elecraft] Watkins-Johnson

[Alexandra Carter]

OT here, but I recently got a Watkins-Johnson 8709 and wow do I ever  
love it! OK so the bottom case sheet metal is missing, gonna have to  
replace that with something, and one of the pushbuttons came off and  
fell on the floor this morning (I pushed it back onto its post) and  
it's idea of a narrow filter is 2.5kHz, this thing can really dig 'em  
out.

Two questions - #1 do you think this is about as good as a K2 as a  
reciever, better, or worse, or what? Just curious.

And #2, how well do audio filters, or even audio DSP like SGC sells,  
for narrowing things down for listening to CW?

Man this thing is the bees knees. 73 Alex NS6Y
