Zack, I learnt filters theory in 1960's and I know that 7 pole ones (Dunestar) are better than tapped 6 poles (W3NQN). On BCC pages I referenced you might find DL2NBU RX BPF with proper use of serial
W0UN: The Dunestar filters are NOT 7-pole but rather 3-pole designs. John, thanks for pointing my error! I am surprised with Dunestar modesty as they can claim 4 poles thanks to series resonances of
Jukka, don't fight physics much with harmonics suppression! Just protect your RX. Recently noted K1NQ approach at YCCC pages with W3LPL RX filters only. I used the same with 6 BPF sharing two strings
