[Drake] AM Filter Advice for TR-7

[Jim DiMauro]

Many thanx to all who responded.  I'm going to start by checking the shields
tomorrow morning.  I'll let the group know what I find.  Also, thanx for the
input on filter sources.  If I'm going to spend nearly $100 for a filter,
it's going to be a new one.  Since there's no clear winner out there among
filter suppliers, I'll liok at Inrad and Sherwood, who both offer filters
for the TR-7.  But first, the shields & grounds...

73,
Jim

Greetings Jim for the New Year 2005.  There have been quite a number of
TR-7's parted out over the years so there should be no problem in
finding an original 6 khz filter for your rig.
