[ICOM] INRAD roofing filter for 756PRO

[AB2E Darrell]

Hi John,

For my two cents, probably the best bang for your buck out there. I went from a 756 Pro II (no Inrad filter), to a used 756 ProIII w/Inrad installed by an Icom Service Center. It made a big difference, steeper filter response, could work very close in to loud stations and copy the weak ones.

I operated from VE3 and my host had an original 756Pro but had added the Inrad filter. Even that radio became much more usable in a contest.

I now use a 7800 and still have the ProIII w/Inrad filter in service. I have a K3 but mostly use that for dxpeditions.

Has anyone added an INRAD roofing filter to their 756PRO series radio?
Does it really make a dramatic improvement in performance?  Did it seem
worth the money?
