[1000mp] Sub receiver filter question

[J. C. Mc Laughlin]

I use a 400 Hz Inrad in the sub receiver.  It is very much a matter of
taste.  I find the stock 500 lets too much through and a 250 lets too little
through.  As you have read, Jim Smith finds the 250 just right for what he
wishes to do and others wish to have the rather broad 500 so as to hear more
of a pileup.

    I do use 250 and 400 in the main receiver.
