Good morning John, I'm a bit too dumb to answer the question but I also would
be 'interested' in knowing how to test it myself. I have the Orion-1 and maybe
could try it out doing the same test as you have described. When you replaced
the Omni-D '218' with the new one, did you feel it made any difference? That
would be important I assume... Jim Reed, W3RYJ...

Subject: [TenTec] #218 filter
I have a 218 filter that I took out of my Omni D years ago and replaced it
with a new 218. I don't remember if it is off frequency or what is the
problem with it. I found it in the junk drawer in the original box in
moving to Florida. Is there any easy way to check it out? I was thinking
of putting it in my Orion to see if it works. But I don't think that will
really give me a true answer. I have all filters in the Orion already.
If I put it in the Orion and set the menu to select only the 1.8 filter and
then tune in WWV and set the radio to upper or lower sideband and offset the
frequency 1,500 hertz and watch the signal strength as I tune, will that
tell me if the center of the frequency is correct? My back ground is
accounting and I need and accept all of the help I receive. Thanks.
