[Elecraft] [K2] Crystal filter impedance

Sergey,

I believe the crystal filter is designed for 150 ohm termination - at 
least that is the input termination used with the -5dB post mixer 
amplifier pad, and since the IF filter is symmetrical, its input and 
output impedances should be the same.

The design point for the variable filter is 400 Hz if I recall 
correctly, and the capacitance changes to permit different widths.  I do 
not believe the impedance changes a lot over the 1.5kHz to 200 Hz range, 
so I would assume it is close to 150 ohms.

73,
