Any radio really I'm talking about, but this is to help me with the 398 when I
get it back.

I ususally use the narrow filter, like, almost all the time. When would one
listen to it on 'wide'? For a Big station or for music?

Tell me how you all use between your *narrow or wide*.......I am interested.
:-)
How would it play on the BCB dxing?

Thanks

The wider the filter, the better the high frequency audio response will be.
If the signal is strong and there is no adjacent channel interference, I
always use the wide filter for AM reception.

Depending what the actual "width" of the filter is, the narrow filter can
make the audio sound muffled.

You'd use the narrow filter for ssb, and for weak AM signals surrounded by
intereference.

Wide for listening to Rush Limbaugh.

Narrow for DXing.

Who would have thought! The narrower the world view, the wider the
filter? You'd think it should be the the other way around!

Nah, it seems to work that way--some kind of irony. Michael Moore's
myopic movies are produced for the wide screen despite the narrowness
of their perspective.

FWIW, I also only use the narrow filter on the 398 when there's
adjacent interference and default to the wide.

Being lazy I got a 398 for narrow filter settings and a 909 right next
to it for wide. It saves wear on the sliding switches. I also became
ambidextrous, so I can now tune BOTH sets in unison. Hope I never get a
stroke...

and here's some more irony for you, from old tv show theme songs:

"They're four men living all together, yet they're all alone."

"They're the modern stone-age family"

""a pair of matching bookends different as night and day"

Is that because Rush was so wide?

Hey!!!!! What became of my thread? Was there even an answer, I don't want to
have to google for it.

I almost forget how I phrased my question. Boy, what you all can do to a
thread. ;-P

It doesn't take long for most threads to get WAY off track.
