RE: [HCDX] Filters in AR 7030?

["Guy Atkins" <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alf,

I have a 2.4 kHz crystal filter in my AR7030, which is Kenwood's equivalent
to the FL44A. The large case size and pin-arrangement appears identical to
the FL44A which I used to have installed in a NRD-525 years ago.

I did not need to use any capacitors, inductors or other matching components
with this filter, just small-diameter coaxial cable for input/output leads.
I mounted the filter to a nearby shielding "can" with sticky-back back foam
tape.

Keep the coax leads as short as possible to reduce the chance of signal
leakage.

This filter works very well for me, and is noticeably better than the stock
2.2 kHz ceramic in the AR7030.

best DX,

I wonder if any have installed a Icom FL44A filter in their AOR 7030?

Is there needed a change of components when installing one?
