[Mldxcc] [NCCC] Ameritron RCS-4 and 6m

AHH The old check and see if the filter works test...Hi hi
 
I did the same sort of  thing when I first set up my 6 m transverter  for 
the Orion, I tried to run it through the I.C.E. 421 filter and was less than  
happy then reset it straight to the stepir and it worked Much  Better.   
oops

OK,  while some suggest that 6m is only static anyway, a Low Pass Filter 
(Ten  Tec 5061) that puts 50 dB of attenuation on 6m does reduce signals 
a bit  <grin>.  Removed the LPF.  SWR OK  now.
