tremendous design flaws of the FT-817 novelty radio will be corrected in a
properly designed rig. In any event, I don't see the FT-817 as any kind

Wondering if anyone has a CW filter or perhaps the obf filter kit for
the FT 817 to sell, if not where to buy?

If you need to buy new, try www.w4rt.com
They'll ship internationally and have 300Hz and 500Hz filters.

I can vouch for that. They did an excellent job on my FT-817 with the
full OBF/OBP/OPP package and I've got it over here in Iraq right now.
