Yep, and we should eliminate the various power categories too.  Too
many guys claiming low power who are running amplifiers.

That's easy to say when you operate from a country that has a digital
telephone system.

Hi All!
Santa has offered to bring me a new 2000 Hz filter for my old FT-990, 
partly because she likes to do Multi Operator phone contests with us.
According to the manual, this filter goes into the 10.94 MHz IF, and the 
stock Yaesu number is XF-10.9M-202-01.  What is a good source for price and 
delivery of these?
I see on the International Radio Web site http://www.qth.com/INRAD/ under 
FT-990 filters that they have a Model 422 filter with the equivalent 2000 
Hz bandwidth and 10.94 center frequency for $100.00 plus shipping.
Specifications:
1.	Ultimate rejection: > 80 dB
2.	Ripple: < 2 dB
3.	Typical insertion loss: 250 Hz: < 9 dB; 500 Hz: < 7 dB; SSB/AM: < 6 dB
4.	Zin/Zout: 500 ohms

Does anyone have any experience with either or both of these?
