[Elecraft] Procedure: Setting the DSP filters for SSB

[Bill Frantz]

Well, these are always problems.

1) To avoid the guy 2.5KHz away, cut the high frequency cut off 
down low. I frequently operate it at 2.05 or 2.15 KHz. I keep 
the low frequency cutoff much more constant at .25 to .36 KHz. 
This procedure will keep most of the interfering signal out of 
the audio.

2) That weak DX is always a problem. If he is running split and 
you have a subreceiver, then adjust the two receiver AF volume 
control differently. If the loud signal is on the same 
frequency, you can try to adjust the AGC parameters to "even 
out" the audio. The AGC SLP parameter is the one to look at 
first, but a warning. It is an advanced control, and requires 
TECH MD ON to adjust. Many on the list think the K3 comes set 
too flat already. But you can always return the settings to the 
default listed in the manual if you don't like your results.
