Wanted: YF-122-C CW Filter


Tony
 

Greetings all:

Looking for a Collins or Yaesu brand YF-122-C CW 500 Hz filter. Inrad is out of stock and I'm told that Yaesu is as well. Maybe someone can shed some light on Yaesu filter availability.

Thanks,

Tony


 

Good luck! They are rare as hens teeth.

I am also looking!

Why did you even respond? Do you need acceptance that much?

The Collins mechanical filter they are based on is long out of production. Last I checked Yaesu also showed them as obsolete and Inrad said no longer available.? If you can't find them used, you won't.? I bought one a year ago from a guy in Russia.? Probably not an option now ;-)

Only option left is to buy a used 817 with CW filter in place, then unload your bare 817

They are pricey but there are some on e-bay.

Scott, sorry if I offended you! I was simply stating they are tough to find. I have been looking for one myself a while now.

When Collins stopped making their good mechanical filters the source really dried up after the last batch was sold.? I got one of the last 300 Hz filters for my FT817.? It is a must, IMHO, for CW, reduces noise and also of course narrows the receiver for crowded activity.? I also have on in my Collins 75S3 rcvr.

I have the following Collins Mechanical Filters unopened in their ant-static envelope.??I purchased these for my Yaesu radios (857 & 817) but have since moved on to SDR radios where 'filtering' is handled in software etc.

526-8739-020

Any one interested, message me.

As a Long Time FT-817 Owner Of Two Thai I use Periodically I find it a bit strange That Yaesu Has Not Found Or Even Produced a Equivalent Since They are Still Producing the FT-818, or Have They Resigned the FT-817/818 to the Orphans Radio Fate, A Dusty Shelf.? I feel For The resent FT-818 Buyers As They now are thinking That a IC-705 Would have been in the Long Term a Better But Costlier Choice.
Best Regards.

Oops. Can't post links.
Look in QRZ.com, title of the thread is "FT-818 production has ground to a halt". See posts #13 and #23.
