Hi all
I think I've cracked it and realised how wrong I was initially. I've just been playing around with the receiver doing some tests. Basically, I attached a jump wire across the input and output pins of my 455 Khz IF Kiwa filter to bypass it, and determined that selectivity was still ok, but not quite as tight as with the Kiwa filter in full operation. I then added a jump wire across the input and output pins of the Fl-33. Selectivity went from good to terribly wide. I then realised that the filter switch only affects the CW narrow mode. I feel a bit stupid but I'm glad I solved the problem. After bypassing the filters in various combinations, I can say that the combination of FL-33 + Kiwa LFH4S is definitely better than either filter on its own. The Kiwa is an excellent filter on its own, though and if I had to keep only one of the two, I'd choose the Kiwa. Anyway, thanks for your help. Cheers Andy |
