Jerry,

Thanks for the advice. I knew there must be a good reason that I liked the sound of filters with less aggressive skirts.

Probably in my case the filter blow-by is what needs to be corrected. Perhaps some better shielding or grounding would help. If that does not work I will try another tandem 4 pole filter as suggested by Clark -WA3JPG

Has anyone replaced the stock filters with any of the Inrad units? How did the new filters work and how much trouble was it to wire the Inrads into the
Ten Tec rig?

The stock filters seem to have very wide skirts or filter blow-by or maybe
both.

Thanks for any advice that you may have.

Less aggressive skirts make for lot better time response so lightning
sounds like clicks instead of crashes. And you can year signals between
the clicks.
