My thanks to N4LQ, WA3JPG and K4TAX for their help on the problem about
my two failed filters. Steve, N4LQ came up with the idea that solved the
problem and the filters are now working. Steve suggested that I take a hot
soldering iron and go over all the solder connecting paths and connections.
I did that and now both filters are working ok. Strange that two would
develope cracks and fail at the same time. I had looked at the solder joints
with a magnifying glass and did not see any cracks, but they were there. I
am now back in business and the Paragon sounds great again. Great day for
me.
