   The FS-6 Bandpass Filter unit is a space saving compact package and comes standard with filters for 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters. Optional filters for 30, 17 and 12 meters are available. All filters use the popular, high performance W3NQN design. These filters are rated at 200 watts ICAS and are to be used between your radio and amplifier. These filters are designed for low insertion loss and low SWR across an entire band with emphasis placed on maximum rejection of second harmonic energy. The filters can be selected via front panel knobs, via our ShackLAN-4 system or remotely by applying +12 for each individual band to the rear panel control connector.

 

   The space saving package minimizes the width required on your operating table. The case is only 6.25" wide x 3.25" high x 13" depth and is constructed with heavy duty extruded aluminum with a mar resistant textured vinyl finish.
All filters are modular, plug-in boards making replacement, if required, an easy process.

Below are actual performance plots. Filter shape plots only show adjacent bands as performance at these frequencies is of primary importance..
