Larry,

To get the total value of this modification requires the purchase of both 2.8kHz SSB filters (#754 & #755), plus the audio mod kit. Having installed both filters and the audio kit, the result is impressive - for ragchews and roundtables. For DX'ing, I still punch in the 2.1kHz (Inrad) or 1.8kHz (TT) filters to squeeze down the passband. Using a high quality external speaker makes a major difference.

I am think about making the Inrad audio mod to my Omni VI+. It widens the audio frequency passband from 250 hz to 2800 hz instead of the stock 475 hz to 2105 hz. Affects seem to be most notable in the low frequencies. Being a DX'er, I am not sure an expanded low frequency response is what I want. Seems that a rag chewer may be more interested in higher fidelity. I would be interested in list members opinions especially from DX'ers and contesters.
