    Kenwood TS-480 Optional Filters

    I operate my 480 primarily on 6 meters. I do not have any of the optional filters installed. I am wondering if purchasing the optional 1.8 khz, will help on weak signal work. QRM is not much of a problem for most of the year, but I wonder if having the filter will help sensitivity on 6, by...

    6m Larcan Conversion
