That is likely the original intent when JT was developing JT9. Once it
got in the wild and many of us tried "this and that", it has proven far
better than JT65a at DXing weak signal conditions from 160m to 6m.  And
I for one have used it in the aforementioned bands. It's also been used
very nicely on EME.

Yesterday's testing by me revealed that when I had a station reduce
power, and he went eventually from +30db to -9db, I got sync=2 and 3 but
no decode.

Thus my original question about 'Could this mean we can hear a
weaker signal because we use a 400Hz filter', results in a "No" answer
empirically.

So far.

But I am so new to the K3 that I am not going to categorically say that
is fact.
