[TenTec] Paragon: filter blow by

[DK2GZ@aol.com]

Hello again,

thanks again for all the replies of my last question.
This is a fantastic reflector.

After testing the Paragon side by side with my OMNI 6+
I noticed much more filter blow by on the PARAGON RX.

I have 500 and 250 Hz filter in the Paragon and 2 times
500 and 250 Hz filters in the OMNI 6+.(both IF)

I know in the Paragon the cw-filters only in the 2. IF.

On the Paragon I can here the signals mostly 3 Khz up again, or when listen 
to a pile up with split operation I can 
hear the stations calling up 1 or 1,5 khz a little on the qrg
of the DX-station.


I there so much difference beetween an OMNI and a PARAGON in filter blow by?
The filter blow by seemed to be more on the 250 HZ filter
on the PARAGON.

Did not try the OMNI 6+ filters(2. IF) in the Paragon yet.

Using in both the stock TenTec filters, no INRAD filters.
