Topband: BCB Filter Recommendation?

[Joe]

What makes me most angry?

Is radio manufacturers that include steep filters and even attenuators 
in their radios to block AM Broadcast band signals. Then advertise that 
their radio covers from 50 KC to 60 Mhz!
Sorry NO IT DOES NOT!!!

Yes make the filters and or attenuators but make them so WE can choose 
when to have them on or not!
Make them switchable! There is no reason why this can not be done!

Some people do not live near a station they have to worry about. And 
like to do AM Band DXing!

It is extremely sad when a ten buck radio with it's internal ferrite bar 
antenna performs better than my $4000.00 dollar radio using a 600 foot 
loop up 60 feet antenna!

LET US decide if we need the filtering or not!
