[Elecraft] Subject: K3 SSB filters

[Barry]

John,
     I have either 2.8 or 2.7 KHz filters in my K3s; I just don't 
remember which I ordered. I rely on the bandwidth of the filter that 
follows which is created by DSP. It works fine for me. I know this setup 
has stop bands that are around 105 db, but I don't know what the shape 
factor is; some of this is available from Bob Sherwood's site.

     The filters you are discussing are roofing filters. They are 
primarily there to protect the the ADC from seeing too much energy and 
overloading. Selectivity is secondary. Unless you perceive that you are 
having a problem, I wouldn't go to the trouble of swapping out filters. 
However, there are a number of hams who will disagree with me.

73,
Barry

>John, when narrowing the SSB bandwidth down to 1.8 use the shift control also and shift from 1.5 down to wards 1.05 or so. Makes a big difference.  I'm sure a MACRO could be set up to do that automatically but I don't find it necessary often enough to worry about.
