[Yaesu] FT-847 Filter Opinions Wanted..

[John Geiger]

I think the INRAD 1.8 would be the way to go.  Good shape factor and maximum
selectivity.

I have been thinking about finally replacing the stock receive filter in my
personal FT-847, but i can't decide which to go with.  I have played around
with another 847 that had a Collins filter in it and it really seemed to
help a lot during a good opening on 6m.  Here are the choices i am
considering.

Collins Mechanical 2.0 Khz

Crystal Filter 2.1 Khz from Inrad

It has also been suggested that i consider the 1.8 Khz crystal filter from
Inrad as well.  I realize that this comes down to ones personal taste but i
wanted opinions before i buy.  Mostly i am concerned with performance on 6m,
2m, 70cm SSB.  But i also occassionally listen around on HF as well.

What say you??

73,
