That's why I asked :-) My narrowest crystal filter is "0.20" and is plenty narrow for isolating signals from noise. As you say, the pitch sometimes gets a little confused, and the signal reduced, so I don't find it useful for really weak signals. I'm not really interested in reducing the bandwidth further. In this particular case, the noise level was low enough that I had no activity on my S meter ... from the station or the noise :-) What I'm trying to discern is if the DSP will help cut some of the broad spectrum QRN/QRM that I hear around here. (I'm also happy to hear from KAF2 fans, especially since it's cheaper!) I admit that I forgot to try a wider filter (I was using 0.40) to see if I could hear Guam more clearly. I know that trick and sometimes it works for me. Later, when people woke up, I was getting S3 QRM and there was no hope of hearing really weak signals. That's an entirely different thing! 73, chris _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
