I am curious about what members of the list are using for their wide roofing filter in the RX-366. At this time, with CW as my main interest, I have a 600Hz and a 300Hz in place in mine. I have littl
While filters are expensive, they can be swapped out without a lot of trouble. That said, I chose a wide filter of 6 kHz, then the 2.4 kHz standard filter and finally a 500 Hz filter for the narrowes
While roofing filters are indeed nice and serve a really nice function, I truly believe the lack of understanding as to what they do and how the perform and when they are needed is in short supply. I
Yes, it's easy to conflate roofing filters with the more familiar IF filters. They don;t serve the same purpose but can be complimentary. Sherwood's presentation is excellent. In my case, there's a g
Outstanding Kim! This is exactly what the world of Yaekencom users don't realize they're missing. They accept 'intra-transmitter' interference at multi-transmitter events as a given. (I think I just
As far as their minimal necessity - you need at least one roofing filter installed to hear anything. And any signal wider than your widest roofing filter will be attenuated outside the passband. So a
I should stipulate in my FD story that we most certainly *could* hear transmitted IMD and transmitted phase noise from the phone stations and a digital station, which limited useful close-in receive
Roofing filters serve the function of protecting the IF from very strong IN-BAND signals, like between CW and SSB signals on the same band. On most rigs, out of band signals, like between stations on
Kim, there are not many radios that will do that. For the price that a used Orion goes for I wouldn't mind having one. I gather the Orion two is somewhat superior... Best regards - Bry Carling ______
I want to thank everybody for their responses. I had often seen the "all roofing filter positions filled" or "fully loaded with filters" and was wondering what I was missing. I think I will roll alon
