Just a short note to let everyone know that I bought 3 of these filters
last year for our Multi/Single operations. Keep in mind, our antennas
are only 50' apart (its a city lot!) and they have worked flawlessly.
(One even lived thru an inadvertent band change and didnt go belly
up...) Well built and work the $$. 
I have used them on the F12 C4XL, with one station on 20 and one station
on 40 on the same boom- 
        A satisfied customer here. See you all at Dayton-
FWIW-

Several major contest stations are now using transceiver bandpass
filters
(good for 200 watts) designed and built by Ed, W3NQN. About 3 years ago
I
went to Ed after having problems with ICE filters and he came up with a
very
solid design.
He does not make a switchable filter set, all of his units are single
band.
So there are 6 small boxes for 160 thru 10.
The performance specifications are superior to either Dunestar or ICE.

WX0B is now making a multiband switched filter set based on the W3NQN
designs.

W3NQN does not have an email address. If you are interested, please send
me
an email and I'll pass it to Ed.

I will be bringing a few sets of transceiver bandpass filters, Ed's new
powerline filter (7 amp) that KR6X suggested as a good isolation
solution
and a few of Ed's new high power (1500 watts) band specific low pass
filters
to Dayton. Please let me know if you are interested

I am not a reseller for Ed, I am just trying to help Ed sell a few
filters
in appreciation for all of his hard work designing filters that most
major
multi multi stations now use.


I hope that helps.

73,
