6.3 MHz I-F accessory filters for the Corsair I/II, Omni V/VI/VI Plus
and Paragon I/II transceivers are now discontinued. We are out of
stock on 250 Hz and 500 Hz CW filters, some inventory of the 1.8 kHz
filter is still available. Ten-Tec will be retailing International
Radio 6.3 MHz I-F filters as direct replacements for these rigs in the
future; no more OEM filters will be manufactured for the 6.3 MHz I-F.
Unfortunately, we're several years past the Omni-VI Plus being
discontinued (last rig to use the 6.3 MHz filters) and despite switching
suppliers for OEM filters a couple of years ago the wholesale price has
been on a steep incline -- coinciding with the sales of the filters
slowly tailing off. The last price increase from our supplier was a
deal-breaker and we'll now be retailing the InRad filters as
replacements for our rigs that used a 6.3 MHz I-F filter in the future.
No other changes for other models of Ten-Tec filters at this time.
