Hello Marty,
Having the same problem you did trying to find a 245 for a 544 I bought,
used the 245 from my 540 as a pattern. All the components are still
available, so had a PCB fabricated using my 245 as a pattern. Did a less
than perfect job of duplication, had to redrill holes for the 7 vector pins
used to connect the board to the rig.
A lot of time and trouble for what might just as easily be accomplished
using an outboard audio filter, just to prove to myself that could do it.
Anyway, it works perfectly, just same as the 245 in my 540. It isn't very
complex, just two dual op-amps and some resistors and caps. Somewhere I
have the TT documentation, pictures, parts list, schematic, pattern of the
PCB.
Building one on vector board is certainly feasible, and maybe easier than
dealing with a PCB.
GL & 73, Curt

Subject: [TenTec] Replacment cw filter
Hi
I have asked in the past if anyone has a 245 filter for the 540 Triton IV
and received no
answers. So I am wondering if anyone in the past has built one on Vector
board or
ugly construction and gotten it to work? I am going to RS and see what
might
be available
to try this, it doesn't look to complicated to me.
