[Elecraft] K3 Bad Filters

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

That Elecraft is testing the filters now is a good thing!

I remember a post from Elecraft a few months ago, that said that I
should not use the 8.2M IF filters that were intended for Yaesu's FT1K
because the filters for the Elecraft K3 were specially selected to get
top performance.

The recent messages of bad filters, 8-pole and 5-pole, seem to
contradict that. Or do filters break down during transport?

Anyway, awaiting my new K3 with several filters within a few weeks from
now, I expect that my filters are thouroughly tested for flatness, good
imd-performance and are handpicked for top performance.... As promised.

Or is this an impossible, strange question? Then please say so.

(BTW, I've  got four 8.2M IF filters in my FT1K)

We do now!

Originally all 8 pole filters were supposed to be 100% tested at INRAD's

supplier. When we discovered some bad ones had gotten through, we added 
100% testing at Elecraft and at INRAD in Aptos.
