[Elecraft] Setting the DSP filters for SSB

[mikerodgerske5gbc at yahoo.com]

You should be using hi/lo cut. 
You can leave lo pretty much alone at 200 or 0.20. Adjust hi cut to your preference or qrm. If you have narrow filters, they will engage at the set points. 

Sometimes it's best to use ATT before rf gain. 

On low bands with static crashes its sometimes helpfull to raise lo cut.

One thing on my K3 that's made me wonder if I'm doing it right is how to adjust the various filters and settings to accomplish two things.

1. During contests, how to best adjust to hear the station and not the guy 2.5KHz away

2. When trying to hear the weak DX, not be blasted by that guy from Florida or Texas running a kilowatt.

I work SSB only at this point and haven't found any videos that show how to best adjust things.
