[Elecraft] K3 SSB Filters

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Having the 1.8 kHz in my K3S, I know what and how it works.

 I work 2 SSB traffic LSB nets which both have LSB nets which are 2 kHZ above my net frequency.   That means at least 700 Hz to 1000 Hz of their primary signal is in my receiver passband.   The 1.8 kHz filter, the DSP at 1.8 kHz and using SHIFT handles the issues nicely.

>>> Been interesting reading the comments on SSB contesting and filtering.  As a serious SSB contester from way back in the 80s, side rejection from other contesters (especially where we are all bunched up on 40 meters and also when the shortwave broadcast stations come on) has always been a topic of conversation with my fellow ssb ops -- which radio to buy, which filter to use, dsp, etc.
>>> I have the 2.1 khz, 8 pole roofing filter installed in by my K3s BTW.  With that said, I think the bleeding over QRM from other ssb stations (especially on 40 meters) is just the “nature of the beast” with ssb contesting.  And boy is it a killer on the ears during and after a contest
