[Elecraft] k3 - dual receiver & filters

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Tom,

While matched filters are optimal for matching receiver performance,  
they're not strictly necessary if you're only doing non-diversity  
receive. The K3 will select an appropriate filter bandwidth for each  
receiver independently.

If you want to do diversity receive, you'll need filters with matched  
offsets. Our 8-pole filters all have offsets of 0.00, but can also do  
this with 5-pole filters as long as the offsets are matched for a  
given crystal filter bandwidth. At the time you order the filters, you  
can request matched sets.

73,
