[TenTec] Corsair ,help with cw filter!

[Duane - N9DG]

If you put the 217 in the slot on the PBT board it will not work. The 217 is a 9 MHz IF filter, the PBT board of the Corsairs use the 28# series of filters (6 MHz) not the 21# series..

You could get away with the 217 in the first IF filter slot (the one not on the PBT board) but that will make the radio not usable for SSB,
