[Kenwood] Kenwood Filter Question

[Steve Rutledge]

The YG-455-C1 is a is a 500 Hz filter which works in the 850/450/690. 
The YK-455-C1 works in the same radios but is a 270 Hz filter.

In my TS-690S, I have a YK-88C1 (500) and a TG-455C-1 (500) as well as a 
YK-88SN-1 (1.8 Hz SSB).

I have the same set-up in my TS-450 with the exception of the TG-455CN-1 
(250) in place of the TG-455C-1 (500).

In my TS-850S, I have two 500 Hz filters and one 270 Hz filter as you 
can use the slope tuning in place of the SSB filter.

In fact, the slope tuning on the 850 actually takes the place of any 
filters if you have the time to adjust it.

Getting back to your question, the filter works but I recommend the 
narrow SSB filter and two 500 Hz filters in the TS-690S.

I just acquired a Kenwood TS690, and am getting some extra filters for 
it.  I have seen a narrow CW filter for the 455khz IF listed as both the 
YG-455-C1 and the YK-455-C1.  Are these different filters, and if so, 
would both work in the TS690?
