[Elecraft] 6 khz cw question

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

Dave,

Listening 6 kHz wide is fine if you listen up to 3 kHz UP AND DOWN your
frequency. (So you might have a station on zero beat freq, who cares)
Being an ex R/O used to listening on 500 kHz, this was normal operation.

-----------------
Why do you want a 6kHz bandwidth in CW? Most of us would find listening
to CW with a pitch of that pretty well impossible. Or maybe you are
using it with your PC soundcard with programs like CW Skimmer? (of which
I have strong views which I won't repeat here...). Here I never use a
filter any wider than 400Hz on CW, except very occasionally 1kHz in
contests so I here people calling off channel. In normal use there
really is no need for anything wider.
