[Yaesu] FT1000D Filter Location (UNCLASSIFIED)

[marcelo at alternex.com.br]

Hello,

Thanks for the help.

I installed the 400Hz sub-rx filter some time ago. It works OK. Only the main receiver
500Hz is deaf, which makes me think of some bad contact.

Is this 500Hz main filter a plug-in type, or is it soldered?

Thanks

Marcelo, PY1KN
