50 Hz and 100 Hz BW are available in PSK D.
With a 1500 Hz center frequency the narrow filter should be made
available in DATA A. I would also argue that it should be made
available in AFSK A if MARK 2125 (e.g. CF=1000Hz or 1360Hz).

If it was working before the failure, one should always assume a single
failure. Multiple failures are quite rare and are normally induced by
some outside force (incorrect power, lightning surge, etc.)
There are instances where one failed component will take out another
one, but
Tnx, John!
An exercise that I've yet to find the time to do is to put the balun (or
external tuner) inside a well insulated enclosure and then measure the
temperature rise. (Something like a tightly closed Styrofoam box.) It's
