Re: [TenTec] Experience with 300 HZ filter in Orion II?

["Ron Castro" <ronc@sonic.net>]

It's especially good on 160.  I've got an avid contester about two miles 
from me who puts in an actual measured, honest S9+50 dB signal on 160.  I 
can generally work without hearing him if I'm > 3 kHz away, but the more 
filtering, the more it helps!
