Rick:

I stand corrected.

After making a dive for the book to refresh my memory, there is a standard 2.4 KHz filter in the 9 MHz IF as well as the 6.3 MHz IF. This is Y2 which is an 8 pole ladder filter. This is also the same filter that is used in the SSB generation process.

Looking further there is also Y1 on the 9MHz IF which is a 15 KHz 2 pole monolithic filter and is located electrically in the very front of the 9 MHz IF.

OK, thanks Bob.

Yes, that's how I had mine configured too.

I thought there was a standard 2.4 kHz filter in the 9 MHz IF but I guess I
was mistaken.

The standard filter is a 2.4 KHz in the 6.3MHz IF. Optional slots which are

marked but not filled from the factory are:  1.8 KHz, 500 Hz, and 250 Hz.
The 9 MHz IF has slots marked N-1 and N-2. All are labeled likewise on the
front panel.

The 6.3 MHz optional filter are as follows:  1.8 KHz is model 288, the 500
Hz is model 285, and the 250 Hz is model 282.

For the 9 MHz IF the optional filters are: models, 216, 217, and 219 which
require the high gain setting by moving a jumper pin.  The models 218 and
220 use the low gain setting.  The jumpers are located adjacent to the
filter locations and are marked JG1 and JG2.

Optional filter specifications:
9MHz IF filters -
216 - 500 Hz 6 pole for FSK
217 - 500 Hz 8 pole for CW ** N-2
218 - 1.8 KHz 8 pole for SSB ** N-1
219 - 250 Hz 6 pole for CW
220 - 2.4 KHz 8 pole for SSB

6.3 MHz IF filters -
282 - 250 Hz 6 pole for CW **
285 - 500 Hz 6 pole for CW **
288 - 1.8 KHz 8 pole for SSB **

Hope this helps. The ** after the filter is the way I have mine configured
and it's great!

Pse help me out here.

It's been 2 years since I had an Omni VI+.



Please define for the VI+ (original - not the upgraded ones) what the
optional filter possibilities are.



As I recall, standard was 2.4 kHz in the 9MHz and 2.4 kHz in the 6.3 MHz
IFs.

Then there were 3 + 2 optional slots (5 total).

How many were in the 9MHz IF and how many in the 6.3 MHz?



One of the IF's had its filter slots labeled.  Which one was that?

The other IF just had two slots (Nar1 and Nar2).



Thanks for the help.
