Steve already answered part of this.
There is indeed a preamp and I don't recall its exact amplification but it's
probably 10dB. As I recall, the preamp may be switched off. If your rig
previously had the 250 Hz filter in it, it is probably still switched on.
As I recall, doing what you have done will work just fine for RX (once you
have turned the preamp off), but your TX signal is still going to go through
the standard 2.4 kHz filter. That's why Steve's suggestion is a good idea,
at least for the filter which the TX uses.

Subject: [TenTec] omni 6 plus question
i have purchased and installed both of the 2.8 inrad filters. i have them
installed in the 250 hz cw and nar 2 slots. is this ok? the thing i have
observed
is when i have them selected, its like i have turned on a 10 db preamp as
well. going back to the stock 2.4 and 1.8, the s meter readings are back in
line
with all the other rigs i have. is this normal? did i do something wrong? i
just want to be sure i am not hurting the rigs performance.
thanks
