[ICOM] IC-736 reception

[Adam Farson]

Hi Paul,

All things being equal, an IF filter inside the AGC loop will always be
better than an external (post-AGC) filter. A filter within the AGC loop will
remove strong out-of-band signals before they develop AGC voltage and swamp
the receiver. 

The Inrad 9 MHz SSB filter needs to be wired in. Care must be taken with the
wiring, to avoid signal leakage around the filter. The Inrad 455 kHz SSB
filter will not fit in the IC-736 unless the CW option slot is rewired to be
selected in SSB mode.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Hi all,

Somebody test the INRAD SSB narrow filters in a IC-736 ?  
Does it improve the reception or is a external DSP filter better?

Tnx in advance.
