[ICOM] 706 Filters

[Stephen Budensiek]

Neil,
   I can only speak for the 250 hz cw filter.   The filter is in the 9 mhz 
IF, so blow past is evident if you have real strong stations.   The 706 
does wonders in the mobile, but on my TH11, or 2 ele on 40m at 120 ft on 
the small mountain I'm on, 400 ft HAAT, or the 80m full-sized 4square, you 
better use the attenuator.   Long as you keep the signals down, the 250 hz 
does wonders.   I've worked lot of CW mobile while I was driving, much 
easier copy with the 250 hz filter, especially when working split in 
dx-peditions and pile-ups.   I haven't counted, but have at least 100 
countries on CW mobile, over 150 on all modes, using a 10 ft whip (most the 
time) and an AH4.   On 40 & 80, I change out to a Hustler with a 40 or 75m 
top, have worked run's on Europeans on 40m just after sunset, really enjoy 
it.

I'm using the Icom 706 and was using a narrow ssb filter. I want to
install the narrow cw filter and I'm interested if it does a better job
then the ssb filter ? Any comments ?

Tnx, Neil/NB7Q
