[TenTec] Better solution than #217 Filter?

[Steve Ireland]

G'day

I have an good old Omni C with a Ten Tec #217 filter in it and was 
interested to see the recent various postings about this filter.

One thing that I have noticed is that despite the 6dB amplifier to help the 
insertion loss of the filter, my Omni C receiver still seems down gain-wise 
in comparison to the 2.4KHz SSB filter.

I guess the filter is fairly ancient and may have seen better days (like 
me).  On this basis, what would be the best Inrad 500Hz filter to use to 
put a bit of extra sparkle into its CW performance?

I gather CW fiends (like myself) also sometimes substitute the Ten Tec #218 
1.8KHz filter with a 1KHz CW filter.  It would be good to also know what is 
the best Inrad option is for this.

Many thanks!
