Hello group

I am new here so please bear with me ?

I have a FT-920 from a silent key who was actually a friend of mine (KV4DP) I took the rig to? sell for his wife (also a friend), but I ended up just giving her the money and keeping the rig for myself. It has been sitting around for a couple of years, and like me, desiring to get back on the air ? I have looked into a few upgrades to do to it. Namely the Inrad roofing filter and some of the cascading SSB and CW filters with the filter boards. Here is my question.....

What would be the best combination of filters to get or put in the FT-920????? Both CW and SSB ?

Thanks in advance ?

While I do not have the answer to your question, I would like to take it farther.? If I understand the 920 manual, the YF-116A/INRAD #710 filter is required for AM transmission.? So if you put a SSB filter in the second filter position do you sacrifice the ability to transmit on AM?? Will a SSB filter work in the second position?? If you look at Menu number U-69 (CW) and U-70 (AM) they seem pretty specific.? I.E. CW and AM.? Is this indicating that there is no additional post manufacturing SSB filtering available?? Looking at the circuit diagram it lists the CW and AM filter slots.? I am far from knowledgeable on the Yaesu filter schemes.? I know my FT-1000 Mk V has five filter slots.? I believe the FTdx-3000 only has one slot for a CW filter.? I only say this, because I've always been a bit confused on Yaesu's filter options.? I'd love to hear from anyone on the subject.
Take care.? 73 Harrison N1FAM
