Bob,
Thanks for the idea. I am going to put the 218 in my Orion and use either
CWGet or a PSK31 program and watch the waterfall screen for the noise
pattern. This should give me a good idea what the filter is doing.
Thanks.
73,
John

Another way, if you have a PC with a soundcard, is to use a spectrum
analyzer program like Spectrogram to characterize the filter using
band noise as input.
This is the technique used by K2 builders to set up the adjustable IF
filters. I used this approach to find the centering adjustment for the
218 and 217 filters in my Orion (I used a program called Spectrum Lab,
found at http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/ ).
