BIG waste of time. There is simply no need for it. The 180 has a notch and
excellent all-mode selectivity as is.
The Q-mults were designed for much lesser radios with a 455 Kc IF, that did
not have much in the way of QRM fighting tools. Especially radios without
crystal filters, but also could be used with a crystal filter to give a few
more options. For example, the Hallicrafters HQ-150 had both a crystal
filter and Q-mult with both notch and peak functions.
