[Elecraft] Fun with the K3...

[Brett Howard]

Just had an SCC RTTY station that was about 20 over 9 come all the way
down to 7.029.225 or so and was calling CQ while I was calling CQ on
7.029.000 with CW.  I had the filter wide enough that I could hear him
that far away incase someone called me off frequency.  Another person
joined me and he complained about a RTTY station near by.  I turned
down the width and the K3 dropped from my 1K filter to the 250Hz
filter and poof I was in my own world the +20 to 25 over RTTY station
was no where to be found.  Finally after we got into QSO the RTTY
station decided to head somewhere else.  Not exactly the most active
of contests but I'm usually calling CQ around 7.029 and didn't see any
reason to move cause someone strong came with in 250 Hz or so of me.
The Q is over now and I wish I'd turned off the 250Hz filter and left
the DSP bandwidth down at 100Hz or so where I was to see if the 250Hz
filter was really helping me there or not but I like to tell myself
that it did.. :)  Makes me feel like the extra fundage was worth
it....  It will be for FD though in 2013 or so when the spots are
back.

Till then I'm having fun continuing testing on the 2.34 Beta.
