value at center of filter skirt in SSB

When in USB or LSB mode, the filter skirt displays the low and high pass values as well as a center value. For example in USB with the 2.7 filter selected, the skirt shows 100 at the low end and 2800 at the high end. The meaning of these is clear. It also shows 1.5k at the center-top of the skirt. What does this value represent? How is it calculated? How do you use it? Thanks.

I think it may be the half power points (3db) of the filters created. 1.5K+1.5K = 3k-2.7K = 300Hz/2 = 150 Hz is ~ 50% point or half power. I guess that is clear as mud....0

Doesn't the 3db point change depending on which setting is used in the filter settings ?0

Three of the numbers represent/describe the location of the filter parameters with respect to the carrier or zero frequency. Two are the corner frequencies of 100 Hz and 2800 Hz. The 2.7 kHz (2800 – 100) represents the filter bandwidth. The top 1.5K number represents the location of the filter center frequency with respect to the carrier and shown with two significant figures. It can be calculated as:
Fl+(Fh-Fl)/2 i.e 100+(2800-100)/2=100+1350=1450 or approximately 1.5K

Hi Larry. Thanks for the great explanation. I now know what the center value represents. I'm not sure how I would use this value though. I guess it's just for informational purposes.0

It is used for operating digital modes, like PSK31 where you may want to know the center frequency offset for the receive filter if you are also using a narrow TX filter in the center of the RX passband.0

Makes sense Tim. Thanks.0
