[Elecraft] 1.8 or 2.1 kc Filter

[Fern Rivard]

Hi Tom:

    I have the 2.1 filter with my K3 and it does sound a bit narrow compared to the 2.1 khz filter that the collins s-line used for years so I wouldn't bother with the 1.8 khz filter. I've tried a 1.8 filter in an Icom IC-706 and did not like it either.
    Just my 2 cents worth from Fern  VE7GZ  with K3 #412

I've had 1.8 filters in many different rigs over the years and found that I
rarely used them because, in my opinion, they are too narrow for SSB, making it
sound tinny to me.
