[TenTec] Orion Roofing Filter Cut In

[Rick Williams]

So Steve what would should we call the 12 kHz wide 2-pole filter on the 9
MHz board of my Omni V??  I believe your Omni VI has a similar filter.  Do
you think "roofing filter" would cover it?

Please believe me. The roofing filter is not in the front end. The front end
is as broad as an entire ham band! The roofing filter is in the IF stage
where it has always been. I can take the 9mhz filter out of my Omni VI and
install it in an Orion. Same filter, same basic design!
The only difference is that in the Omni VI, they didn't call it a roofing
filter but it was in fact just as much of a roofing filter as it is in the
Orion.
Same filter, new name, more sales! That's what keeps the economy going.
Filters.....gotta hav'em.
