[ICOM] Hekp with Icom FL52A filter

[N5IET Bob]

Hi John:

In my reading all over the internet lately doing research
on the Icoms I have seen posts about this before. It seems
the answer to your question is yes the INRADS fit better.
It is a problem with the standard filters for some reason.

One guy reported that he actually taped a piece on the
inside of the case so when it was put back together it
pressed against the filter to hold it in.

BTW - I am not recommending this as a fix :0)
Just letting you know what one person did to accentuate
that it is a problem. Another one said he got the INRAD
filter and it worked fine.

 73 fer nw,

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
