[TenTec] Omni VI 1st IF Narrow CW Filter Enable?

[NL7VL]

Don,

Do you have the instruction sheet? It can be wired to work off of
either N1, N2, or full-time. If it was not using one of the narrow
switches you would certainly notice it on SSB. I'm still trying to
figure out if installing the 9MHz CW filter into the N1 position would
cause the roofing filter to drop out, but I would doubt it.

That would be quite the CW setup to have the CW roofing filter, and
INRAD CW filters both IFs! I believe you can install the CW filter in
either position, so if the roofing filter is controlled by N1, N2 would
bring the 9MHz CW filter into the circuit, too. I don't think you can
easily use N1 to control both. I'm sure it *could* be done, but getting
things working normally would be the first task.

I'm not sure about the gain setting but you probably would want the
high gain with 20 poles of filtering :)
