I have a TS-830s that already ahd the YG-88C 455 kHz CW filter. �I just 
installed the YK-88C �8.3 MHz cw filter, and now the received signal is 
attenuated on the narrow CW setting - perhaps by 10 to 20 dB. �That wasn't 
the case with just the YG-88C installed.

I also notice that the signal peaks when I have IF shift about 1 tick mark 
off-center to the left (minus side). �I had noticed this before when I had 
the YG-88C by itself, and that the more I narrowed the VBT, the more I had to 
peak the IF shift to the left to track the station.

So, is the attenution normal? �I don't expect so, since it makes weak signals 
disappear -- the opposite of what I wanted!

Any ideas before I mess something else up?
