[Elecraft] SV: Getting Ready For The 2nd RX

[Alan Bloom]

I have a somewhat similar philosophy.  I ordered the second receiver
without additional filters.  When/if Elecraft introduces their
variable-bandwidth CW filter I will order one to replace the 500 Hz
filter I now have in the main receiver, and put the 500 Hz filter in the
second receiver.
