[Elecraft] Roofing Filter Usage

[Stephen Prior]

Hi Mark

Try reducing the bandwidth further using the width control, then the DSP
filtering will be responsible for narrowing the bandwidth.  You could also
try adjusting the shift control to slide the passband one way or the other.
Although I have all my filter slots filled, I never use the xfil button to
change width, just the width control.  The effect is the same.

Yes, it's a lovely radio, and I came from a TS480 too, via a K2 that is :-)
