Cw filter


 

So folks,

What is a cost effective narrow cw filter?

AF or mechanical If ?

My wife is learning cw ... go figure I should help ...?


 

Michael,

Good on your wife for learning CW. What resources does she use for learning?
Regardless, if you can find a filter, it's probably a seller's market. CW filters are hard to find. Mine is a 300Hz mechanical; works great.

See if this helps.?

I have the YF-122S SSB Filter. If you have the same filter installed, try this approach.?
Maybe I'm faking myself out, but these settings seem to tighten up the band pass significantly for CW.
If it doesn't work for you, just reverse the settings or use some combination that helps?

Hold the "F"unction button to get into the second menu?
? Go to the Item # 38 Op Filter?
? Select CW? (Although set to CW, it will be fine on SSB if you do not have NAR selected. Set to SSB if you want NAR to function with SSB)
Hold the "F" button again to save
Press the "F" again to get into the first menu?
? Go to the "IPO ATT NAR" screen?
? ?Select NAR?
? Press "F" again?

? ? Optional - Select IPO if 30m and below. It by-passes the preamplifier stage which is not really needed unless you are on 20m and up?
? ? and/or - Select ATT if there are extremely strong signals. It will help if the RX is really overloaded.

Quite honestly, I really can't tell much of difference in LSB or USB, with SSB selected in Menu #38 along with NAR.??
