As an aside, the 3 kHz peak goes back well before SSB was popular. It was determined to be the optimum peak response for communications. For example, the famous D-104 with its original crystal element from the early 1930's featured just that peak.
As others mentioned, any electret element sold today has a frequency response far better than any communications circuit can use. For example, I have a $4.00 Radio Shack electret element that is flat from 70 Hz to over 10 kHz. Of course, any decent SSB rig will limit the audio bandwidth to between 300 Hz and about 2.7 kHz. If you are really serious about getting the boost around 3 kHz an Elecraft K3, K3S or KX3 can have the Tx equalizer set up to provide that for you. 73, Ron AC7AC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
