I purchased and installed one of the Jackson Harbor converters, with 
a 10 MHz output, early this year. It works very well and is extremely 
inexpensive. Since I'm cursed with living less than 2 miles from a 
50kW station on 1270 kHz, I opted for the improved performance filter 
with the kit. The new converter replaced a Palomar converter, which 
was totally useless in my environment. I took a look at the Palomar 
circuit and found that it has a broadband gain stage AHEAD of the BCB 
filter! The JH converter shrugs off the BC station, with the 
exception of a few stray noises and cross-mod products, probably from 
rectifying joints in guttering or wire fences.
