Hello ! I am a very active operator on the HF bands. I started CW only a few years ago and liked it so much that it is my most comon mode of operation today. For all this time I have never used a CW
<< Since my equipment supports only one filter I must choose between the 500Hz or the 250Hz filter. At first I thought that the 250Hz would be the best one, but on second thoughts maybe it is too nar
Pedro I have used 250 Hz for years in contests and DXing with my ICOM781. Its fairly rare that those calling me, and remember this occurs only if you are running CQ, are off far enough to cause a pro
HI Pedro. When I had my FT-102, it came with a 500 cycle filter in it. It worked good for casual operating, and I thought it was just what I needed. When I got into my first CW contest with that filt
Personally, I like the 500 Hz filter in my FT-1000D for running. I really don't like keeping one hand on the RIT all the time, and I use my brain's DSP to do additional filtering :.) During ARRL CW,
Pedro If you are serious about CW contesting go for the 250Hz filter. It takes a bit of getting used to . When I am "running" on freq I use the RIT to jog back and forth a few 10's of Khz to get the
A conservative approach but I agree. Plus, I find that to actually find a run frequency I have to hit the 250 hz filter on the IC765 to settle down between two other STRONG signals. Won't do too much
Hello Pedro My 2 cents worth from an old QUACK K7QQ I agree with the wider filter width for CW, I use the TS-970 and on CW the maxium bandwidth is 1 khz with 600 hz 400 hz 200 hz. 100 hz 50 hz steps
