[R-390] More Power Line Filter Replacements

[Barry]

Gentlemen,

I'm curious how much interest there might be in having a replacement line 
filter similar to the ones I made here:

http://www.knology.net/~thelanding/LineFilter/

I'm thinking of having some custom plates manufactured that would accept a 
filter like the one in the pictures, but instead of it hanging off the back 
like these, it would be mounted completely inside the radio where the old 
filter mounts.  The IEC connection would be just inside the hole where the 
original filter mounts.  The original design in the website above has the 
filter mounted where it sticks out from the back.  It's not bad (it's only 
about 1/8" beyond the edges of the side panels) but it doesn't look all that 
neat.

I have a design, but having the plates manufactured is somewhat expensive 
unless I have a lot of them made.  The tooling/setup charges have to be 
spread over the entire quantity to bring down the price per piece.

The bracket and filter together will probably run in the $30 to $40 range, 
again depending on quantity pricing.  If I get enough interest, I may pursue 
this, so if you think you would be interested, drop me a line.  This will be 
a substantial "investment" on my part so not entirely sure I can do this, 
but it would be something I think a lot of folks on and off this list might 
want so I'm trying to get a feel for interest levels before I try this.

Thanks,
