[ICOM] ICOM 7410 & its two filters

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

It's pretty easy if you know how to manipulate a screwdriver! 
Impossible to install in wrong slots. I bought mine direct from 
Japan for about $100 delivered to USA in under a week. 
 
Probably the so-called 6 kHz filter is wasted money, but the 
3 kHz (actually around 5 kHz) can help in some situations. 
 
You'll probably find even that isn't needed unless you operate
in contests and have fairly close high power neighbors from 
what I can gather from other comments here. 
 
I bought both because they were so cheap from off-shore!

> The new ICOM 7410 is listed as having open spots for two additional roofing filters. I'm considering buying the transceiver now but the filters later. My question is, has anyone bought this transceiver and installed filters themselves? From the ICOM pictures, it looks like a small fine pin single row socket for each. But I do not see an obvious keyway or position indicator.
