Hi Everyone,

Like Clark, WA3JPG, I am confused on the response of TT about the use of
wider filters in the Omni VI.  My experience with crystal filter
modifications on older non-TT crystal mixed rigs of years gone by
did not result in any serious decline in performance or radio specs.

While I admit that my engineering knowledge is limited my practical
experience tells me not so. In any case I am very curious to learn more
on why in increase of 300 hz in bandwidth would be so critical on SSB
relative to spurious emissions, carrier suppression and such.

Can someone enlighten?

In my opinion if wider filters truly will result in performance problems
then the special order project should be dropped. If not then.......
