It sounds good “on paper” but a while ago I talked to Paul Clinton at
Ten Tec and mentioned this filter to him. He acted like Dracula
confronted with direct sunlight. He said that TenTec would not work on
radios with this filter installed because the center frequency of the
filter was not right and threw the whole alignment of the radio off.
Those Inrad setups are switchable aren't they? If it can be simply
bypassed with a control switch, then there is no reason to claim it
cannot be worked on. Another way to bypass it may be to disconnect it
from the signal path, while leaving it in situ. If TT refuses to work on
it in that case, then it would seem they may be looking for any reason
(or excuse) they can think of to avoid working on older rigs. I hope
that is not the case.
