Jim:

I've installed Kiwa filters in dozens of radios over the years and 
can't speak highly enough of them. Every Kiwa product I've ever owned 
has been of superb workmanship - the MW Air Core Loop is a work of art, 
too bad it's no longer being produced.

I have an 8 kHz filter module in my NRD-515, along with the 3.5 kHz 
module and the stock filters (6 kHz and 2.4 kHz, I think). Both are 
fantastic.
