I have 4 filters in the 6.3 Mhz. IF: 2.4, 1.8, .5, .25. They all work, but the 500 hz. has less output than the 250 hz. - even when I adjust the PBT and the FADE/BP controls for max gain. Gain is probably 25% or so less, but definitely noticeable. Could one of the crystals in the filter have drifted? Or be bad? I have tried "exercising" the connections by plugging and unplugging the filter per Don Prouty in the Ten-Tec service dept. Is this a fixable problem by sending back to Ten-Tec? Since their hourly rate is $60, maybe just as well to buy a used one for $60-70 including shipping. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, Donald K6RV
