   * [[wp>Continuous_wave |CW]] takes the least amount of "space" because it's essentially just a single note being turned on and off.  A 250 Hz filter would work well to isolate the signal and reject neighbouring signals.   * [[wp>Continuous_wave |CW]] takes the least amount of "space" because it's essentially just a single note being turned on and off.  A 250 Hz filter would work well to isolate the signal and reject neighbouring signals.

   * SSB signals usually have a bandwidth between 2 kHz and 3 kHz.  A 2.4 kHz filter would work well to isolate the signal and reject neighbouring signals.   * SSB signals usually have a bandwidth between 2 kHz and 3 kHz.  A 2.4 kHz filter would work well to isolate the signal and reject neighbouring signals.
