To install, desolder the original filter and clear the second set of holes for the optional filter. Solder the new filter in place. Be sure all pins are actually soldered, and that there are no solder bridges between pins or across the printed circuit board. Clip the pins flush to the board, and reinstall the circuit board.

Note: Squelch operation will vary from unit to unit with an optional narrow filter. Tighter coupling from the detector to the squelch circuit may be tried to restore "original feel".
