[TenTec] Tested: 1.8 filter definitely not engaging, ideas?

[Clark Savage Turner]

Tim and the list -

This sounds like a simple jumper "mod" I did once to give me sweeter 
(wider) audio from use of the single 9 MHz IF filter.  You might 
carefully check around the base of the filter for a small resistor and 
cap across the active leads jumpering the filter.  This sounds like a 
good avenue since you mention you can remove the 1.8 filter to no 
effect.  This indicates to me that either 1) there is a jumper; or 2) 
the NAR button is inoperative.

Good luck.
