A must for FT1000 owners Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I recently purchased the FT1000MP modifications from Inrad as well as optional filters. The modifications if you purchase them all, fix the key clicks, hiss, etc. well known problems. The filters really make the radio much more enjoyable in crowded CW and RTTY bands. The FT1000MP is a great radio but is really improved with the Inrad upgrades. They were professionally packaged and delivered promptly.

Great Filters! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've used IRC filters in my FT-1000MP MKV (all optional filters), my FT-817, an old FT-7, a previous TS-520S, a TS-50S, and a TS-440S. The filters all work great. I highly recommend these filters.

Excellent aftermarket filters Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought a pair of 400Hz CW filters for my TS-850 from Inrad. They had them in stock and shipped them right away. Inrad fabbed their own custom circuit boards for their 850 filters, and they came ready to go, no soldering required. The package came with clear instructions as to the installation, and the filters popped right in with no trouble. The filter themselves sound excellent and exhibit the advertised selectivity. I will definitely buy from Inrad again.

Don't hesitate to buy these Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Everyone else has said it all, I've filled my FT1000MP with Inrad filters: SSB 2.1KHz, CW 400 and 250Hz. These are snap-in.

I also put a 400Hz CW and a 2.1KHz SSB filter in my FT847. These were solder-in but the instructions were clear and it worked great.

Great filters, great company to work with, I wouldn't change a thing. I've had these filters for many years without a hassle.

EXCELLENT Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have used these filters in a 1000MP, Corsair2, FT897 and Ft990 with excellent results. Not only is the product excellent, but the cost is less than factory filters. The service is also very good. 73's Steve........

Great Service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I can only put 1 filter in my IC-718. I wasn't sure whether to use the 1.8Khz, or 2.1Khz SSB filter. When I spoke to Inrad, they said that I could order the 1.8Khz and if it was too tight for me, change it out for the 2.1Khz.

They also charged my card when the Item was out of stock and they were awaiting delivery. This is not something they normally do, but the £/$ exchange rate was great at the time I placed the order - so when I asked if they would do it, they obliged.

Great Product, Great People, Great Service.

Good Filters, Great Service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I took advantage of INRAD's New Year's Day offer, and ordered a 400Hz filter for my TS-570SG. The filter arrived sooner than expected, and works very well. The service from George and Georgia is exceptional. Highly recommended!

Great filters, great company Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've used these filters in Yaesu, Kenwood, and Ten-Tec radios, and I have always been very pleased. Last week I purchased a 500 Hz CW filter for my new FT-857 for $125 instead of the Yaesu filter for $160. As always, the INRAD is great, and this time a lot less expensive.

Great Product Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I just installed the 400 Hz CW filter into my Icom IC718 and I am very pleased with it. Sounds much better than the Icom FL100 in my 706 and cheaper to boot!
