- I'm thinking about building some narrow band filters (as opposed to a bandpass filter that covers an entire band) for use on Field Day. The object is to minimize crosstalk between CW and sideband sta

- Our club (NARS) built filters like this several years ago for Field Day. They are all-in-one with a switch to move from 10-15-20-40-80. I think the parts cost about $100 per unit. If you are interest

- The key problem is dirty transmitters, as opposed to receiver overload. You can afford an extra 6 or 10 dB of receiver front end loss due to filtering to fix receiver overload. On the transmit side,
