I don't suppose an idiot like me could accomplish this modification, could
I? I have a SONY SRF-M37, and while I like the digital readout, I prefer the
SRF-59 as far as what it can get out of the air.

>
> Hi all:
>
> Acting on inspiration from Mesa Mike and Gil Stacy who put a 6.0 khz
> filter in theirs, Jim Kenny and I have replaced the stock filter on our
> M37V's with a 4.5 khz replacement, which he obtained through RadioLabs.
> Let me tell you - it's a new radio!
>
> Gone are the 80-100 khz swaths of destruction laid by strong locals, which
> are now kept within their 10 khz boxes even better than the Sony SRF-59.
> The selectivity champion of UltraLights, the Eton e100, is still perhaps a
> hair better, but it's almost a draw depending on the situation, so the
> modified M37V is clearly among the UltraLight elite now. With its already
> commendable sensitivity and above-average nulling ability, the M37V is now
> a potent DXing machine, and its performance grades in the latest Gallery
> have been adjusted accordingly. If only the M37V's image problem could be
> fixed...
>
> The filter is the LTS-450GW. The spec sheet can be seen on
> http://www.euroquartz.co.uk/pdf/ceramic-lts-450w.pdf
> I recall that someone (Mesa Mike?) reported that the next one down, the
> 3.0 khz model, made things too muffled, whereas this 4.5 khz version still
> sounds remarkably crisp.
>
> The filters are $7.50 plus shipping, and you have to call or write
> (they're not listed on their Web site). Contact Todd D. at
