[Elecraft] Data mode and filters

[David Cole]

Hi Jim,

Honestly, my first question to you would be how is YOUR radio setup, and
how strong was my signal at your location? Are you overloading?  Were
you running with the Attenuator on, did you have AGC on, etc.

I have heard many, many people accuse another ham of being broad, when
they were just strong, not wide.

When I send out a report to another ham, about wide signals, I include a
snap shot from the P3, with a good signal at the same strength as the
offending signal.  That way the person knows that his/her signal is
different from a signal that is the same strength, on the same screen,
at the same time.  

That sort of ends all questions along the lines of the one above I
listed.

I am a bit surprised some folks actually responded that they did not
care...  Ham radio has changed a lot over the past 40 years...
