Since you mentioned 1st and 2nd IF, I'm guessing you have a TenTec rig and
maybe an Omni 6 or maybe a 5 or even a Paragon but then maybe a Corsair. Why
not just tune in a carrier or cw signal using the narrow filter trying for a
pitch of around 700hz and peak up your passband control for maximum s meter
reading. Then your wided filters should be centered too? I did lots of
guessing since you didn't give much to go on. 73
