I'd put my money on the 2.4khz filter.
I worked in a paragon that sounded okay but rf power dropped off as you went
higher in freq. at 10meters only 10-15 watts of power.
Turned out to be a bad filter in the 9mhz circuit.
On my corsair II, I could never balance the sb-n and sb-r perfectly.
I'd try a different filter first.
