What have list members found to be the best low pass filters to prevent TVI?  I currently have a Drake TV-1000 in line but that allows RF up to 52mhz, and actually above that because I have used it successfully on 52.525mhz for 6m FM.  Today I borrowed a Kenwood LF-30A from a friend. I can't find too many specs on it other than it has 90db of attenuation above 90mhz.  It didn't make any difference compared to my Drake.  I was thinking that it might do better since it should have a lower cutoff frequency.

I see that Drake also made a TV3300 filter that is rated at 80db above 41mhz.  And the ICE filters get good reviews on eham.net.  So, any opinions as to what low pass filters work best?
