[TenTec] Switched audio filters

[rick@dj0ip.de]

An "AH-1" is an ICOM antenna tuner.
I think our lawyer just built an ATU!

Just joking, Jim.
Tnx for the tip. I'll take a look at that one.

I just built an audio filter from Elecraft, AH-1.  It went together on a
Sunday afternoon, so easy even a lawyer could do it, and if I had known how
well it worked, how much it helps digging out weak signals, I would have
built it before now.
