RM Italy 27/586 Low pass filters

[whiteastro]

Why did you order 3??? You have 3 set-ups your planning on using them on?

Anyway...If the radio has been P&T, then don't count on much performance out of a TVI filter...

I've never used a TVI filter from RM Italy, I do have a couple 1500w ones, one being a MFJ, the other one I think is a Johnson, but at any rate about the only thing I could see they did was show less watts on my watt meter...Never had much luck with TVI filters on 11 Meter....HAM guys swear by them tho.

Thanks for the comeback JJD you said something I feared ( Less Watts ) and I will be watching close for that problem. I bought 3 because I have a KL200P a KL203P, and a KL300P. The KL 200P & KL203P are for my car and van. The KL300P is for my radio bench. I live in small town with a lot of neighbors and I don't want to give them more to bitch about! ( And they Do ) I might have to save my Palomar 300A for my future country home. The other day I was playing with my Palomar on AM Channel 19 and I had a trucker comment on how he thought I was going to blow the windows out of his truck. Makes you wonder about these Old cheap neighbors and their Old TVs running a digital converter box I don't need the FCC knocking on my door if you know what I mean! They ( Filters ) didn't cost that much so if I end up not using them I'll put them with my other mountain of electronic junk LOL out for the yard sale! PS If they cut some of the noise in my radios that wouldn't hurt my feelings either!

I doubt your going to have any problems with the neighbors running those amps with/ or without the filters...It's not like it was back 30-40 years ago when just a stock CB Radio could mess up a TV set...since just about everything now has gone digital, CB's and amps don't hardly mess with anything...

-=UNLESS=->>>>You have a radio that's had several golden screwdrivers stuck in the back of it to squeeze out every last drop of watts the radio is capable of squirting out! That's where you run into problems is with radios that splatter all over the place...Run a splatter-box radio into a amp, and harmonics will be flying everywhere and getting into everything...

That 300A you have shouldn't bother anything either...Those guys saying your about to blow their windows out, are just complimenting you on how well your radio sounds is all...

I talk on my Cobra 2000 that's hooked to a 300A, with my TV on, and the computer all at the sametime and the radio and amp doesn't get into anything...and the TV is less than 15' away, and the computer's monitor is actually sitting on top of my Cobra 2000!

Another thing! I have a RCI 2980wx sitting next to the Cobra, it has it's own amp, a XForce 1x4 base amp, which is sitting literally "side-by-side" next to my computer and there's no affects there either!

bottom line...don't worry about ol' Uncle Charlie....
