[TenTec] Omni-VI 2.8 KHz filters

[Charles Greene]

Tnx Chuck,

I found it.  It's on page 4-45 of my manual; I guess there are a lot of 
variations of the manual.

Concerning placing the 2.4 KHz 9 MHz filter in the 1.8 KHz filter position 
and so on after installing the 2.8 KHz filters that I discussed below, a 
more careful look a the schematic revealed different input resistors for 
the various filters.  The appear to be attenuators, probably for 50 ohm 
filter inputs to compensate for different losses in the different 
filters.  They shown on the Pass Band Tuning Schematic.  Rather than modify 
the board and replace the resistors, I will just swap the filters and see 
how it sounds.  Then I will run a test using Spectrogram with a white noise 
source for the receiver and see what the band pass and level are when using 
each filter.

Tnx agn,

Chas, W1CG
