[CQ-Contest] ICE vs. Dunestar, Bandpass Filters

Several major contest stations are now using transceiver bandpass filters
(good for 200 watts) designed and built by Ed, W3NQN. About 3 years ago I
went to Ed after having problems with ICE filters and he came up with a very
solid design.
He does not make a switchable filter set, all of his units are single band.
So there are 6 small boxes for 160 thru 10.
The performance specifications are superior to either Dunestar or ICE.

WX0B is now making a multiband switched filter set based on the W3NQN
designs.

W3NQN does not have an email address. If you are interested, please send me
an email and I'll pass it to Ed.

I will be bringing a few sets of transceiver bandpass filters, Ed's new
powerline filter (7 amp) that KR6X suggested as a good isolation solution
and a few of Ed's new high power (1500 watts) band specific low pass filters
to Dayton. Please let me know if you are interested

I am not a reseller for Ed, I am just trying to help Ed sell a few filters
in appreciation for all of his hard work designing filters that most major
multi multi stations now use.


I hope that helps.

73,
