Now you've got me confused. I thought in the 6,  the 2.4khz filter was
always in-line and you were able to add one more filter in cascade in the
9mhz IF.  Then in the 6+ they allow a choice of one other filter to be
cascaded with the same 2.4khz filter, not 2 at the same time. Then in the
6.3khz if you could add one filter at a time. So it goes like this.

9mhz if: ( 2.4khz, 8 poles fixed)  plus ONE of your choice of 2 optional
filters totaling 16 poles max.

6.3mhz if: your choice of ONE  4 filters thus adding another 8 poles for a
total of 24 poles max.

Am I right or did someone sneak one in on me?
