Jim,

I don't know when I replaced the filter in the Omni D.  My grandson KD8AUL
has the rig now along with the manuals.  The invoice would still be in the
manual.  That is where I file those types of items.

John

Good morning John, I'm a bit too dumb to answer the question but I also
would 
be 'interested' in knowing how to test it myself. I have the Orion-1 and
maybe 
could try it out doing the same test as you have described.  When you
replaced 
the Omni-D '218' with the new one, did you feel it made any difference?
That 
would be important I assume...  Jim Reed, W3RYJ...

  I have a 218 filter that I took out of my Omni D years ago and replaced it
  with a new 218.  I don't remember if it is off frequency or what is the
  problem with it.  I found it in the junk drawer in the original box in
  moving to Florida.  Is there any easy way to check it out?  I was thinking
  of putting it in my Orion to see if it works.  But I don't think that will
  really give me a true answer.  I have all filters in the Orion already.

  If I put it in the Orion and set the menu to select only the 1.8 filter
and
  then tune in WWV and set the radio to upper or lower sideband and offset
the
  frequency 1,500 hertz and watch the signal strength as I tune, will that
  tell me if the center of the frequency is correct?  My back ground is
  accounting and I need and accept all of the help I receive.  Thanks.

  John
