[Elecraft] Bad Filters

[David Robertson]

Jerry,

When I got my K3 I found the FM filter was open (no signals). When Electaft Support sent me a replacement I could only get 1.5 watts out through the filter (verses 100 watts through a ,001 UF capacitor) on FM.

When I again contacted Support, I suggested that they plug the FM filter into a K3 and test it before they send it to me. When I got the replacement FM filter (My second replacement) it worked fine.

To answer your question, I don't think they test all filters.
