I put things together kinda quick \ntoday, so I skipped the one little step about putting the filter in. I \nam using UHF side of a Comet CF-160 Duplexer. At some point I might \nchange to a \"dedicated\" filter but since I have been recently laid off, \nthat expense will need to wait a while.\n\nThanks,\nRon\n\nJeff Mock wrote:\n> \n> \n> Ronald Nutter wrote:\n>> After not having used my IC-910H for a while due to moving across \n>> country, I unpacked it tonight and setup my antennas.
