Joe,

That information on the sample of two is good, but since there is 
variation between them, that is reason for me to suggest additional 
testing - it takes 3 to "vote" on the correct answer and several more to 
determine an average.

Joe, that was very good work, and the test setup is not trivial. Yes 
proper tests at 100 watt PEP would require a lot of careful thought for 
the exact setup and some very good filters.

I too would like to see the FM filter also usable for AM and ESSB. I 
really never anticipate transmitting in AM or ESSB, there is always the 
possibility I would like to use it for some demo sessions showing off 
the K3 capabilities.  The cost/benefit ratio is too high for that kind 
of occasional application.

73,
Don W3FPR
