[Lowfer] The Jammer

Yea 12db more signal on my meter...hi hi...I don't recall what equipment 
others are using. I know my '930 was wide until I installed a tight 
first IF filter. I have plans to install a tight 2nd IF filter as well 
to see how steep the slopes get. Not really needed now but I have never 
owned a rig with both 1st & 2nd IF filters in place. Heard you in there 
a little bit last night on SSB. The NDB carrier on 510 is quite loud 
here so I had to mess with filtering which messed up the audio a bit.
