Hi Jack- I have an old Icom 765 that I was all fired up to put an inrad roofing filter into. The night before I was going to put it in I had a terrible nightmare. I was buried by inrad roofing filters and a man with a rubber duckie kept saying "It is blasphemous to alter original equipment" I woke up in a cold sweat and never put the filter in. My K3 will stay all original, thank you. 73's Skip KT9T
