I have a large quantity of Cellular Band Pass Filters available. The pass band is 860-900 MHz (easily passes the output frequency of the cell system). These are ideal for use with outdoor antennas that bring in many unwanted signals. I have not yet measured the pass/reject attenuation, but if you are interested, email and I'll test one. The filters are manufactured by muRata-Erie and were originally intended for use in the construction of cellular telephones. They are 1.5 cm square, 0.9 cm thick, and have a mounting flange on the bottom that extends 0.5 cm away from the metal enclosure. The input and output leads are each 0.5 cm long. These are a 3 terminal, passive device. They are also uni-directional (marked on case). Although designed for surface mount, you can solder coax directly to the device or bend the leads 90 degrees and insert into a PC board. I suppose they could be used with scanners to reduce desense from unwanted signals by placing them in an RF tight case with BNC connectors in and out. This could then be attached to the antenna port when desired, but of course it would be unnecessary since NOBODY listens to those frequencies with a scanner. But since these are intended to go inside cellular telephones, I'll just assume anyone interested is designing / mfg'ing cell fones! Price is $4/ea. plus $1.50 to ship inside the US by US Mail. (I can send about 6 of these for the $1.50; they're lightweight) I'm selling these because I have enough to last a lifetime, especially since I don't listen between 860 and 900 MHz! For info - reply by email. Everett Basham "I didn't express any opinions, neither did my employer!"
