Amateur Radio Filters For an introduction to issues relating to filtering HAM radio signals, please take a look at our Amateur Radio FAQ. See additional pricing and options on the pricing page. via e-mail Subject: 2 Meter Filters I installed a DCI 144-2 filter in front of a Downeast Microwave 2 Meter transverter and I was amazed that the band is now totally clear of ALL unwanted signals on the low end of two (except for the leaks in the cable tv system that operates on two meters). What a great product! I live in Houston where there are many transmitters operating around 150 MHz. Great product!Dick W5AK Two Meter 4 MHz Wide 4 Pole Bandpass Filter (Model: DCI-146-4H)

W 12" x D 2" x H 4" 
Skirts 
Pass SWR DCI has high-power, very low loss, low pass filters for 2 meters. Although the filters were designed for commercial use (with cut-offs of 160 MHz), they are very useful to amateurs as they will reduce your second harmonic by about 30 dB, and third and higher-order harmonics by over 50 dB. The filters go a long way towards reducing interference to 440 and 1296 from 2 meter transmitters in VHF/UHF multi-multi contest stations. DCI low pass filters are constructed with seven elements, with coaxial inductors and Teflon� capacitors. The filters go between the linear and the antenna and reduce the broadband noise and harmonics generated in the linear. The estimated power handling capability is 2 KW and the passband loss is about 0.1 dB. Connector Type: Type "N" 440 MHz Low Pass Filter (Model: DCI-500-LP) 
W 8.5" x D 2" x H 2" 
Skirts 
Pass SWR DCI has high-power, very low loss, low pass filters for 440 MHz. Although the filters were designed for commercial use (with cut-offs of 500 MHz), they are very useful to amateurs as they will reduce your second harmonic by about 30 dB, and third and higher-order harmonics by over 50 dB. The filters go a long way towards reducing transmitter interference to 1296 MHz and above, and will also protect a 440 MHz receiver from higher frequency transmitters. DCI low pass filters are constructed with seven elements, with coaxial inductors and Teflon� capacitors. The filters go between the linear and the antenna and reduce the broadband noise and harmonics generated in the linear. The estimated power handling capability is 2 KW and the passband loss is about 0.1 dB. Connector Type: Type "N" ATV Filter (Model: DCI-cf-bw-#p-x-y) 
W 19" x D 8" x H 6" DCI makes ATV filters which are 6 MHz wide to accommodate a standard fast scan TV signal. They are specified by the VCF (video carrier frequency) and the passband extends 1.25 MHz down from the VCF and 4.75 MHz up from the VCF if using upper sideband (USB). Note that USB is the default and filters will be tuned for USB if no sideband is specified. ATV filters are available in 8-pole and 10-pole models. An ATV filter can be used to reduce interference on receive and to remove the lower sideband and create a VSB signal from a DSB signal. Both the 8-pole and 10-pole give enough attenuation of the lower sideband in the transmitted signal. When ordering, please specify: cf = center frequency, bw = bandwidth, x = (S)tand-alone or (R)ack-mountable design, y = connector type: connector type (N, SO239, BNC, etc). Ex: DCI-483-6-10-R-N Bandwidth is tuned 1 dB down from center unless otherwise specified. |
