[Elecraft] Best CW Pitch and filter ripple

[Don Wilhelm]

Ken,

That is one reason I recommend using the OP1 filter (set the same as the 
SSB FL1) for the RTTY FL1 setting.  I make the RTTY FL2 thru FL4 
settings narrow enough that there is no significant passband ripple (I 
typically use 1.00, 0.70, and 0.40 centered at 1000 Hz).

In use, one would tune the desired signal with the VFO to the vicinity 
of 1000 Hz in the waterfall display and then proceed as normal from 
there (except that I 'lock the transmit frequency' in the PSK31 
application so the QSO does not 'walk the band' due to the slight  
difference between the transmit BFO and the BFO for the filter in use.

73,
