Topband: BCB Filter Recommendation?

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Hi Ed, 


What is the frequency of your local BCB transmitter? 



This is the best brickwall filter -- capable of handling 200 watts -- 
that money can buy. Its provides at least 40 dB of attenuation below 
1700 kHz. Several PVRC members located within a few thousand 
feet of a 50 KW 1500 kHz BCB transmitter use them with excellent 
success.

Less expensive filters work fine if your local BCB transmitter is below 
1500 kHz. You can save even more money if you can place the filter 
before the receiver input to your radio, so the components don't have 
to be rated for 200 watts.

Greetings, 

I am getting clobbered by a local BCB transmitter, making 160M unusable, even with a dedicated RX antenna. 

As for filters, I have narrowed it down to the ICE and the Kiwa. Kiwa seems to be the more serious filter, as they publish their specs in great detail. ICE does not. 

Any other filter I should consider besides these two? 


Thanks,
