Ken;

I believe there are 4 crystals on what appears to be the standard filter board. The 217 is on the AF/IF board and is switch selectable. This is getting the output from the RX mixer which is then fed into the IF/AF board and the receive filter if selected. The 8122 filter is also the input to the TX mixer. Interestingly, on the board picture in the manual, the filter is numbered as a 8117. Serial no. is 00042 so things change.

Hi John,

My best guess is that a leading "4" is missing from that number and the filter is really a 48122. That would fit into Ten-Tec's filter stock number scheme. Based on the other stock numbers beginning with "481" I would guess it is a 9 MHz filter.

If you get any more definitive information on that filter, please pass it on to me, so I can improve my filter list. Could you tell me how many crystals are in the filter?

Thanks,
