[TenTec] Omni VI+ filter question

[Clark Savage Turner]

Hi Tim -

Yes, you'll need the pair so that the PBT operates properly and the 
audio passband is widened.  Both SSB filters are in line for PBT 
operation.  I have jumped the 6.3 MHz filter before with a resistor and 
just had a single filter in the 9 MHz slot (lose PBT) but the hiss comes 
way up and its not quite what I wanted.

A pair of 2.8's and the INRAD mod to the audio board will give you a bit 
wider audio, but it won't be "full" audio.  I think there are lots of 
sites that discuss receiver bandwidth for the Ten Tec rigs (check out 
our friend in Albany :-)
