I listened around on 75 meters tonight and the old rig sure performs
great since the 1st IF roofing filter and 2nd IF cascade filter
modifications. I listened to QSO's on 3855, 3857.5, 3860 and 3862 Khz
and could copy all the stations. I can't imagine getting much closer in
frequency and still pick out intelligent speech. Switching in the
cascade filters with the 2.1 Khz INRAD eliminates everything outside
it's pass band and the audio still sounds good. The roofing filter cuts
down on the extraneous mixing products allowing the rigs AGC to function
well in crowded conditions. Well done George! 73's Charlie W5VIN
