Part of the problem with narrower bandwidths is making sure the signal
is at the APF peak.
I had fits trying to use APF with 200-400 Hz dialed in until I launched
Spectrogram and made sure the signal peak aligned with the APF peak.
Weak signals still show even when you have trouble hearing them. This
alignment helps with pulling them out. One can tune either the K3 shift
knob or K3 main tuning if it is set at 1 Hz steps.
Works every time.
Spectrogram can be collapsed to a small rectangle for this purpose an
permanently left on the display. HSDR also has a narrow bandwidth
display. Other spectrum display programs would work as well.

I seem to recall a recommendation to use a 400 Hz bandwidth with APF. In my
own exerience, narrowing DSP bandwidth much below this does not seem to
help APF function and rather muddies it.

On the other hand, when used in conjunction with NR a wider DSP BW is
desirable since NR works on uncorrelated noise. Try:
BW= 700-1000 Hz,
NR= ~ 5-3
APF= ON
Great for pulling out weak signals on an uncrowded band. The NR settings
of 5 and above mix processed and non-processed data so the APF has
something to work on. My theory, anyway.

The narrower the bandwidth, the better signal to noise.
That should answer your question :-)

When using the APF, does it make a difference which bandwidth has been
selected? Or in other words, does APF work better on top of a narrow or
wide bandwidth, or is selected bandwidth irrelevant? Thanks.
