[Elecraft] K3 with 1000 Hz filter

[Tom Hammond]

Hi Tony:

I recently added a 1kHz filter to my K3 (just in time for Field Day...).

When I'm contesting, I often try to use a semi-wide b/w filter, so I
can keep track of who is on either side of me AND so I can try to catch
those who can't seem to zero beat my calling frequency.

Before I added the 1kHz filter, I had only a 2.8kHz (SSB) filter which
was good, but it allowed to much 'crud' in from 'up above'... with the
1kHz filter I can now roll off a LOT of the upper RM and get down to the
business of copying what I was trying to copy in the first place.

I also have a 400Hz filter for those times when I need something a bit
more narrow, but I use the 1kHz a lot.

73,

Tom   N0SS
