[TenTec] Corsair ,help with cw filter!

[wa3fiy at radioadv.com]

Gil, maybe you are tuning the PBT through the passband window too quickly 
and missing the signal.  The passband is pretty narrow with the 217 filter 
and you may zip right through it.  Find a good signal and tune the PBT 
slowly and see if the signal pops out at some point.

Good luck and 73,
