[Elecraft] Filter

[david Moes]

I currently have the 1.8 filter.   and it works fine for me.   however 
don't expect miracles  I am not sure it its really all that needed.    
If you are in a location that you get a lot of very strong signals in a 
contest  the filter will help more when adjacent strong signals start 
AGC acting on it and effect the level of weak signal you are trying to 
dig out. however in most cases The excellent dsp filter will do the  
work most of the time anyway and the added filter will not do much 
unless the guy a few KHZ away is really strong.

     On the other hand    in CW and digital using narow filters will 
have a much greater noticeable impact as the signals are much closer 
together.
