[TenTec] Omni VI filters

[GARY HUBER]

Are the 9 Mc filters in or jumpered with the correct jumpers for output?

The 1.8 Kc filter has higher output than the 2.4 Kc or 500 Hz filters.
That's why I was wondering if the PIN diodes for the 2.4 Kc and 500 Hz
positions might be the problem.  Would seem odd if that's the case.  I
guess it's possible though.

When I get the Inrad roofing filter installed, I'll see if I can figure
out what's going on with the 6.3 Mhz I.F. filters.   I figured the
roofing filter would have arrived today.  No such luck.
