[TowerTalk] what can go wrong with a Bencher YA-1 low pass filter

[bob finger]

Not sure of the exact configuration but there are probably two or more 
air wound coils and/or two or more ceramic capacitors. It is a low pass 
filter.    Could be solder joints, caps going short or open or a coil 
melting and shorting.  Or maybe one of the coax connectors has developed 
a carbon trace or crack.  Either drill out the  rivets (easy to do) or 
throw it away (not the ham radio thing to do of course).  73 bob de w9ge
