I'm on my second forey for a crystal USB filter for my Racal 6790/GM.
As a result of the first hunt, I bought one LSB and two USB filters,
but both USB filters have problems.
In one, there is a 20 db notch in the audio passband about 1 kHz from
the edge. I haven't looked at the second filter with an audio spectrum
analyzer, but it sounded funny also. Is there any strangeness with the
Racal auto setup that would give this result? I checked and the BFO
frequency is spot on (455 kHz, as I recall) and the filter passband is
right on, except for the funny notch, which is a few hundred Hz wide.
It's odd, but I suspect a bad crystal in the filter. The second USB
filter has been opened and resoldered.
So, if you'd like to part with a good USB filter for the Racal, please
let me know privately by e-mail. I would consider a USB/LSB filter pair
if you won't sell the USB separately.
Thanks!!
