5 pole/8 pole price delta

[Thom LaCosta]

A day or so ago I had the opportunity to talk to Eric at Elecraft and
asked him about the 5 pole versus 8 pole
filters....during the course of the conversation he told me that if
one wanted to substitute the standard 5 pole
filer with an 8 pole, one would receive a 30 dollar credit, and thus
the 8 pole filter would cost $90.00 (120-30).

The '"exchange" price is only valid for units that haven't left the
corral at Aptos.

I expect that when the variable filters are actually available, we'll
see a market for some of the fixed ones.

73,

Hmm, for 30 bux you might be better off ordering the 8 pole as an
extra and keeping the 5-pole for use in a home-brew project or to sell
to some home-brewer. It's got to be worth more than the credit you're
getting for it.
