[1000mp] Inrad 1.8 installed

Wed, 17 Jul 2002 18:05:21 +0300

Thanks to everybody for comments on this, I was off to WRTC so could not answer.

It is clear to me now that I have to change the BFO to make the 1.8 Inrads work in 250hz slots. Unfortunately in the menu you can not change it for every single filter pair but only for either "CW" or "SSB" filters. Thus by changing the CW offset to make 1.8s work I would set the 500hz filters off...

So really the only solutions seem to be either using the USER button as Ian suggested or use SHIFT button always to correct the offset when using the 1.8 KHz filters.

Is that the right conclusion?

I did find that the 250 hz 455IF filter is very handy in the SUB VFO.
