[1000mp] inrad 1.8 filter experience

[WD8ARZ]

Have used the Inrad 1.8 cascaded filter pair in my FT-1000MP for a couple 
years now and love them. It makes all the feature controls perform better 
too. Not unusual for me to use the IF Shift and Bandwidth control 
adjustments between lower and upper sideband when I use this combination. 
Makes a big difference in copying weaker signals next to the big boys. Don't 
forget to switch the agc to fast for that circumstance ....

Sometimes I will use one stage with the 1.8 and the other stage with 2.4 or 
6 depending on circumstances. It is nice to have this choice and I have no 
regrets with 1.8 filters used this way at all.

Have the noise reduction mod in the front end installed, but not the 
narrower roofing filter. Will add that this summer, but waiting to see if he 
adds the auto switching between the original and the new filter first ....
