[ICOM] filter recommendation...

[Mel]

The Icom filter work fine... And fit properly... The Inrad filters are less
expensive...

You should install both filters for the passband to work at the very narrow
bandwidth.... But most of the time I use just the FL53A in my 781 when I
want narrow bandwidth... The filter has a better shape factor and wider
"nose"... But it's after one more mixer...
