[Elecraft] K3 Filters for digital work

[Bill Breeden]

Dave,

I have 200 Hz and 400 Hz filters in my K3.  My K3 copies RTTY fine through the 200 Hz filter.  That being said, I normally use the 400 Hz filter unless the band is crammed with signals during a contest.  The 200 Hz filter also reduces a the apparent signal to noise ratio between my ears when working CW on the low bands during very noisy conditions.

73,
