[TenTec] Eagle and Zero Beating

[Al Gulseth]

"[D]sp brick wall narrow filtering"? I've had the same thing happen back when 
I was running a Corsair with the 250 Hz 282 filter switched in. I remember 
several occasions when I'd sign off a contact and then (just by habit) flip 
the filter switch to the wide position and hear a station calling me who was 
just far enough off my frequency to not be in the passband of the 282. By 
using the 282 in conjunction with the passband tuning, some almost insanely 
narrow bandwidths (at least for an analog rig) could be achieved.

73, Al
