[Elecraft] 8 Pole vs 5 Pole Filters

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Hi Ken, yes, I have same, except for the 1kHz, which I don't have. I'll see
what variable filters are like and since I'm still working on my Morse,
don't yet feel the need for the 1kHz.

I choose those on crafter suggestions and your rational too.

Bluebird of happiness is by the side of each and everyone of us, always
within reach, yet, if pursued to catch and possess is beyond our grasp. -
