This filter is not nearly as capable as advertised. It might provide 25-ish dB of attenuation? I suppose if you’re trying to block a fairly weak signal in the AM band, this might work. But for signals of any decent strength, you’ll still see aliases well above the AM band. I have a 5kW AM station about 1 mile from my location and this filter was not nearly enough. Instead I used the RTL-SDR filer, and that completely blocks that signal and all aliases.

Tenía interferencia de una estación de AM de 640kHz en 7020kHz. Al poner el filtro la interferencia desapareció y mejoró la recepción de 40 metros.

Does exactly as it says - blocks all weak medium wave broadcast signals and substantially reduces the stronger ones. This solved my issue of station imaging on the higher hf bands leaving just actual signals from those bands.

I recently purchased 3 of these filters to use with wideband loop antennas. They work as specified; I have measured performance on a VNA. However, one of the units arrived without a shield cap on the filter module. I would appreciate a replacement or at least a shield cap I can attach myself. Thanks.

Found out that the filter passes DC and can be connected from either end. Not sure if that’s ok with the DC pass? The filter is very broad 480-2000khz and does help listening in the lower hf band if near a big AM station. Not helpful below 400. Well built and recommended but you’ll need two or three in line to get full results.

Fixed SDR overload problems from a 100mW Part 15 AM transmitter operating 24/7, located 25' from loop and monopole receive antennas. Transmitter is a Chez Radio Procaster, SDR receivers are SDRplayRSP-1 and Airspy HF+ Discovery. Minimal impact on HF DX reception and strong AM BCB signals remain receivable. Great solution! Also, unit has optimal thickness and sheerness for this use case, especially if you like tiny blue PCB boards.

I recently purchased a KiwiSDR. Though I do not live in a large city, there are 3 different 5000 watt AM broadcast towers within 4 miles of my location, and a 1000 watt tower less than 1 mile east. This was causing constant ADC overloading in the Kiwi, with spurious signals across the whole range of the receiver.The filter definitely works well. All of the local stations are attenuated by at least 18 to 20 DB, and the spurious signals in the waterfall are gone. It appears to have no attenuation on a local LF NDB on 245 KHz, nor on CHU at 3.330 MHz, so the bandstop limits appear to be as advertised. It has definitely improved the performance of the Kiwi on HF.Another reviewer remarked that the antenna should be connected to the SMA jack marked “output” and the receiver connected to “input”. I tried it both ways, and it seemed to work exactly the same in either configuration.My only concern is the way it was packaged for shipment. The filter is in a small plastic bag, which placed in a non-padded envelope. It arrived with no damage, but packaging it that way could easily result in the unit getting crushed in transit. I would recommend that the item be shipped in a small box.

Works fine Blocks even the most powerful AM stations (KOKC the former KOMA here on Okc). Don't by their FM Notch filter though, It doesn't block anything, it may as well be a straight pass-through cable.

Nice to be able to see as well as hear signals with my SDR. Solid built product, and came complete ready to put to use. Sure would be nice to have offered the option of an enclosure. It looks somewhat fragile, but really it isn't, so if at some point an enclosure is really wanted, guess that I will devise one. I would purchase again, as it solved most of my RF noise issues. Great product! Great company! Great people! Grate value!

The filter works as expected as far as I can tell. I've added a few photos of the filters performance as measured on a nanoVNA. The nano VNA was calibrated for to 50kHz to 3MHz range prior to taking the measurements.As others have stated, 60dB of attenuation is a exaggeration. But it does attenuate signals from the AM broadcast band enough to be usable.I used the filter with an upconverter and also with a SDR receiver with direct conversion. Once the filter was put online all the aliasing from local AM broadcasts was removed. As I only looked as signals above the AM band I can't report on its effectiveness on the LF and MF bands.I am happy with the performance of the filter and would reccomend it.

Average attenuation is ONLY 25db and NOT 40db as claimed. I measured the response curve of 2 of these with Siglent SSA-3032X, HP-8591E and an HP-8712 VNA with identical results. But for $9.95 you can't expect it to work like a $50 filter.I am using this filter on my Flex 5000a to receive WSPR on the 630 meter band with
