Hi Dennis
Thank you for the comments so far. I installed the 400Hz Inrad in the 455
IF slot and find that sufficient. I also have a 250 Hz filter in the 8mHz
IF but do not use it as much. I also have the Inrad front end mod installed
which allows you to cut IF gain and get a slight reduction in the rumble in
the audio back ground on weak sigs - - - I like it.
