[Icom] RE:Low pass filter

[Karl Kanalz]

Yes, indeed I have!  Collins Radio made one of the very best filters on the 
market (I still have TWO of them).  The next best one down the scale is the 
Drake filter (they were made in two power-level versions), and then after 
that, the E.F. Johnson filter.

I have used the "Bencher" and found it very effective.  A recent QST review 
showed it to have good specs.
