(ICOM R71A) Message-ID: <363@ihu1h.UUCP> Date: Thu, 4-Oct-84 11:10:11 EDT Article-I.D.: ihu1h.363 Posted: Thu Oct 4 11:10:11 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 5-Oct-84 05:51:14 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 16 Why is ICOM'S 250 Hz Filter Cheaper Than Its 500 Hz Filter? ICOM offers 2 narrow CW filters for the 9 MHz 1st IF in the R71A general coverage receiver: 1. FL-32 (500 Hz @6 db, 1.5 KHz @ 60 db). Price = $60. 2. FL-63 (250 Hz @6 db, ? @ 60 db). Price = $48.50. The 500 Hz filter worked ok in my older R70. Why is the more narrow filter CHEAPER? Does anyone have any experience with either filter in the R71A? -- =============================================================================== Bob Parnass, Bell Telephone Laboratories - ihnp4!ihu1h!parnass - (312)979-5414
