[TowerTalk] blown 10m section of ICE419 again - N1NK comments

[john at kk9a.com]

I do not recall this article, however I have read a number of complaints on 
contesting.com about blown 10m sections with the ICE filters.  FWIW, I have 
had good lucking with Dunestar bandpass filters and I am sure that the W3NQN 
filters are even better.

Read the recently published QST review of bandpass filter boxes.  The ICE is
definitely "fragile" at 100 watts going into it at any swr.

Both ICE 419 filters blew the 10m side again....both were already repaired
using the CDE 1000v series caps from Mouser, one had 2 270 pf in, and the 
other
had 3 180 pf.....the one with 2 blew almost right away, the one with 3 
lasted a
2-3 hours maybe....running just 100w into a Cushcraft A4 with what appears 
to
be low enough SWR.....before I order again from Mouser, any ideas?
