Don and All, I too was referring to the -3db to -6db point down from the top of the passband level (the scale and extraneous ripple makes it hard to be accurate. After initially setting the filter -3db to -6db at 300Hz the on air adjustment moved the filter to -3db to -6db down at 500Hz, more like Tom's plot. For my set and my voice setting the markers at 500 and 2700 produced a better sounding signal.
I made the comment to the reflector because I wondered if this might have also been the experience of the original query and to flag that I had to move my filter 200Hz as is suggested in the assembly manual. Excellent information comes out of this reflector on a whole range of subjects. I think you, Don, are very patient with all the repetitive enquiries about filter alignment which come up and you quietly give your good advice and information from your well set up website. I enjoy your contributions.
