[Yaesu] FT-847 Filter Opinions Wanted..

Keep in mind that this filter is always inline and you cannot switch it out
when finding it too narrow.  You have to live with it.

The Yaesu option is a 2.5 kHz Collins mechanical filter and I opted for a
2.1 kHz Inrad filter, not wanting to make it too narrow.

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,
