John...
So your 9 MHz 250 hz filter showed loss only when you had the other 250 hz 
filter selected also?   I will check again tomorrow, but I think my TT 9 MHz 
250 hz filter has loss no matter which of the other filters are selected. In n1 
position, there actually is a bit of gain (TT 500 hz).
Only the 9 MHz filters are TT. The others are all Inrad.
