[TenTec] Orion 2 SSB Filter Adj?

[Barry N1EU]

Yes, there's a 2.4KHz roofing filter that kicks in at 2.40KHz bandwidth but
it should be a seamless transition in terms of audio balance.  It is on my
566.  No, there's no center frequency adjustment that I know of on the
2.4KHz filter.

If you have the 1.8KHz filter installed, is there another abrupt transition
in audio balance between 1.81KHz and 1.80KHz bandwidth when it transitions
from the 2.4KHz filter to the 1.8KHz filter?  This transition is also
normally seamless.
