I bought an ICE model 402 filter. It arrived promptly, but didn't come
close to meeting the specs shown on the web site at:
http://www.iceradioproducts.com/filtersrf.html#bcb
It shows about 20 dB attenuation at 1500 kHz. In fact, it does
virtually nothing there. I have a big signal at 1530, so the
filter was useless to me. For $28, it looked too good to be true,
and it was.
