[Elecraft] 1.8 or 2.1 kc Filter

[Bill Maddock]

As a contestor and DXer taht has used 1.8 and 2.1 filters - I prefer the 2.1 - I had a kenwood 1.8 and it was just 2 tinny sounding. I have used cascaded 2.1 Inrads in my TS-850s and it was good enough - I have
a 6 khz the factory 2.7 khz and the 2.1 khz in my K3 - most the time
I run my bandwidth at 2.8 which is just above thw 2.7 and it uses the
6 khz + dsp the audio sounds much nicer - but that it for uncrowded bands
The 2.1 is tight and with the dsp it is just fine - when I crank down on the dsp bandwidth control I have to use the shift knob to get the audio to
sound better. I don't really think that you would like a 1.8 the 2.1 is tight enough! Hope this helps
