drake had a tv-3300-lp with a 33Mhz cutoff and a
tv-1000lp which moved the cutoff up so that they
rated it for 1KW up to 30Mhz and 200 watts up to 52 Mhz.

I have two of the tv-1000lp and one of them has shifted it's
response so that it's pretty well useless on 6M.

Back in the day, I believe Drake made two - a cheaper one that rolled
off between 40 and 50 MHz, and one intended specifically for 6 meters,
with a sharp roll-off above the band and below Channel 2.
