An NX-700 sure doesn't
Interesting, my only experience with commercial radios has been with Motorola.
An NX-700 sure doesn't
Hi all,
I read this and many other similar topics on RR with great interest, trying to gain some insight on improving my own railroad listening setup. I was going to try the AIS bandpass filter suggested above, but thought I would try Par Electronics first... I now have a Par railroad bandpass filter and I was informed that rail band filters are now part of the catalog.
HTH,
Michael

Hopefully y'all notice the obvious, their "ATCS Filters" are in the 160+ MHZ band. (RR voice channels)
ATCS freqs are nowhere near there.
Hi all,
First, I am a novice.
The filter I had made by Par, I had it include the NOAA bands... As for my use case, I wanted full coverage of the NOAA band. Obviously, this is not the use case for a majority of listeners, and I was told a filter could be made narrower. So, I present the statistics for my filter with that caveat. These are the numbers provided to me by Par:
Passband: 159.57-162.5MHz (again, this could be made narrower but was done at my request)
Loss in the passband: under -3dB
Loss at 144MHz: -46dB
Loss at 180MHz: -41dB
3 cavities
HTH,
