Alfredo,
How much power do you intend running through the bandpass filters?
If you are using the newer rigs which can run 200 watts out, then you might
have trouble with the Dunestar and ICE filters drifting with temperature
increase.
The W3NQN filters are rated for 200 watts and do the job well. I have built
copies of the W3NQN filters for our IOTA operations over the last 4 years
from VI5BR, VI5PN, VI5WCP and VI3JPI and they work very well.
Even though the W3NQN filters are more expensive, you do get what you pay
for, with better power dissipation and in some cases, better notches on
certain band combinations.
Cheers

Subject: [TowerTalk] Bandpass Filters
Hi
I would like to know your opinion about Bandpass filters, soon I will be
updating all my station and I will make it to operate a SO2R and M/S, so
i see that there are W3NQN Dunestar 600 and the ICE (if there are others
please let me know) I want to know which of them are goods, I'm thinking
to buy Dunestar 600 because W3NQN is so high in money and that's hard to
me.
Please tell me your opinions about your bandpass filters and the Dunestar
600.
Thanks!
Att Alfredo Velez WP3C
