Then I have one more problem in my Corsair, besides the display blacking out and the phase lock loop going wild when it feels like it. I noticed that when the radio decides to work, and you are tuned on a signal if you switch to narrower filters the signal goes down, and it's not an issue of tuning. With the 250 Hz filter on, only strong signals are audible, moderate signals that you have no problem copying with the 1.8 KHz filter just disappear. I'll try swapping the filters out and see if the problem moves with the filter. One of these days when I can afford it, I'll have to send it to Ten-Tec and get it all fixed up.

I have a simple question, on a Corsair when you switch in different
filters, does the gain of the amplifier following the filter, change
to  make up for the different filter loss? For example, the 1.8KHz filter
has 2.5 db loss but the 250 Hz filter has 11.5 db loss, quite a difference.
