The ICE 419-series BPF sets are the bottom of the barrel. They don't handle power or SWR, so they're very easy to blow, which requires difficult disassembly and realignment. And when you do all that, you still have a lousy filter set. And if that isn't enough, the relays also go intermittent, also require that disassembly.

My measurements of BPF filter sets used within NCCC were published in NCJ about four years ago. The review is on my website. http://k9yc.com/BandpassFilterSurvey.pdf The report is based on measured data using a VNWA3e Vector Network Analyzer, and plots of the data for each filter can be accessed for each unit on each band from this webpage. http://audiosystemsgroup.com/BandpassFilterData.htm

My advice is that if you have a problem with the ICE filter set, bite the bullet and replace it. The two I owned are long gone.
