I agree with Jeff in an earlier answer to you. I just got finished
installing the 1.8s from Inrad in the 2cd & 3rd IFs and they are
phenominal!

On 75 meters, with all the noise keyer uppers, big amp splatter and
hash those filters make the difference between a lot of noise, and
getting to hear those weak ones.

Both the Inrad amp Mod, and the two Inrad 1.8s have made a major
difference in my MarkV, all for the good. Money well spent!
