Hi All,

Looking for thoughts, comments, suggestions, etc.

Club has for Field Day a IC-718, That already has the 1.8 Khz SSB Narrow filter in it. It needed it badly. Especially during Field Day.

Sadly it only has the one extra filter slot, so a narrow CW filter is not an option unless we toss out the 1.8 Khz SSB one. And Me more or less being the ONLY CW op, well.....

So I am looking for help with external filtering.

Either software with a computer,  or via a stand alone external unit.

What's out there? and what works well?

I remember with my Drake TR-4 as a beginner in the 70's getting one of those terrible MFJ CW filters. Where the wide setting was like what 180 Hz? And down to like 50 Hz, as a beginner I thought WOW! awesome!

Got it and the ringing was sooo bad, that this thing was like almost not use-able. I chocked the advertisement into the class of another purchase I made without knowing any better the awesome Gotham V160 Vertical! A chunk of AL tubing that the shipping cost more than the "Vertical" And the Vertical was just AL Tube and a Big B&W Coil. so it would work on the lower bands, he he he.

Anyway what's good out there now as far as CW filtering goes?
