[TenTec] 4 pole vs 8 pole filter in Corsair

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

But isn't the Inrad a lattice filter that is prone to exaggerating static
crashes as compared with the Ten-Tec filters?

Anytime you add more poles of filtering, it is a benefit (up to the point of
dimishing return). TenTec made this upgrade in the Corsair II, since all of
them were shipped with 8 pole filters in the 9mhz IF. If you really want to
get hot, you can go to the Inrad 10 pole 9mhz filter (Inrad doesn't list it
for the Corsair, But my friend Gary, AA2IZ, a frequent contributor here has
one in his, and he will definately tell you it works).  Cheers.  Vern  N2YZS
