[CQ-Contest] seeking 9band bandpass filter unit

[Igor Sokolov]

Charly,
I do not know about 2K-FA but I  used SO2R with 1K-FA, pair of K3  and no 
filters. You can actually test and measure isolation between 2 radio ports 
on  the amp with SDR and signal source prior to applying high power.
There is one company in Russia who makes  6 band BPF in opne box but the 
site is in Russian
