Had you been using JT65HF or 65A?

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.
