I am a little confused on this issue, also. If the QSD does not need roofing filters, why was there a 160 meter filter as described below?
Jeff et all, the filter that is supplied with a new Flex Radio is a low pass filter. It does not attenuate broadcast band signals. There is a problem with the SDR-1000 (many other radios too) when you live in an area that has broadcast stations in the area. Broadcast station images appear in the 160 meter band. The Flex that I just sold was sent back to Flex and had a "bandpass" filter installed in place of the low pass front end filter that is standard. 160 meter operation is flawless with this mod! If you normally listen to broadcast stations however, you will not be able to do that after the new filter is installed. I am sure that Gerald or Eric can supply the information on what is needed to make this change. It is a couple of new inductors and caps and can be done by the owner without shipping it back if you are handy with the "iron". If all you have is a blowtorch however ... you might want to send it back! --Larry W8ER This sounds as if the QSD does need a bandpass filter and not just a lowpass filter.
