thanks for the info Joe. best radio i ever laid my hands on.
i my ask about that 7.0/6.5 filter. have been in email with
Richard. he is trying to locate a XTAL filter in japan for me.
i may do the install myself. i'll have to take a look inside
first. shortwave shop installed the daut. board prior to
shipment. i will look closer at the 330S. i'm also more on
the SW bands. by the way, which size torque fits the screws
in the case? i read it's easy to strip them out...
thanks Joe...

My 7030 uses an allen (hex) wrench for the case screws.

You can also use filters intended for the Racal 6790/gm or 6830 - though
they're large, and you'll need to hook them up with something like
RG-174. An advantage to using milspec filters is you're likely to be
able to get a better shape factor than you can on ones intended for the
consumer market.

If you'd like I could shoot a picture of how I installed the larger
filters in mine and put it up on my web space, but it'll take a couple
days for me to get around to it.
