[Kenwood] Ceramic Filter Test

Sat, 26 Jul 2003 12:38:35 -0500

Thanks for the input Dave.  I though about that but unfortunately I do not
have a spectrum analyzer.  That's what you are talking about, right?  I was
looking for a simple test anyone could do with minimum test equipment??  I
am not a tech and have limited equipment and experience.  Just having fun
with the project rig.
