We have found that the SSB filter does
give the 817 more kick in the SSB mode.
Which brings me to another possible angle on the question whether the
ClearSpeech unit or the SSB filter might be the better purchase? The CS
unit will (obviously) only help on rx, while the filter may help both in rx
as well in tx. So, while both might help to pick out stations you might
have missed or given up on otherwise, the filter may help you to present a
workable sig to listening stations.
Having said that, I don't mean to imply that it's likely going to be that
clear-cut; the filter wouldn't be a magic bullet. But being able to hear
another station does't help if they can't or won't come back to you.
Unrelated Q: how much extra current (if any) does the SSB filter (or the CW
filter, for that matter) soak up?
