eBay filters
Hi all. Has anyone tried the Chinese filters available on eBay for around $100?
If so do they work or should I just set fire to a $100 bill?

Yes, you will need to search and evaluate the vendors for the *"Collins filter w/o board."* I got mine on eBay from Japan for *$103* but he no longer has availability. I can't vouch for this UK dealer

Why bother with a group that has such ridiculous sign-up rules? It's a fair indication of the mindset of the group admins ?

Re: Narrow filter CW

Re: Narrow filter CW
The sotabeams is an audio filter. You can do that with box on the headphone cable, or possibly a phone app, Or your laptop, Not the kind of thing at all as an IF filter.

Re: Narrow filter CW
I would sell the filter if ?no longer needed/used. ?Many owners operate CW and that filter makes a big difference. The demand is there if you want to monetize that CW filter.

Re: Narrow filter CW
I have an 817ND with the Vertex YF-122C CW filter. I don't use it because I only operate phone but I'm reluctant to part with it as it would add value if I sold the rig.
