170MHz Low pass transmit Filter

Minikits in Australia make a really good low pass filter which is ideal for use with the Portsdown or other 146 Mhz DATV transmitters.

Or there are a number of published designs which are easy to build using a minimum of tools:

A simple DIY filter was originally published in the RSGB VHF manual and described in CQ-TV 250

The coils are wound on a 3/8" or 9.5mm drill.

This is a nice easy filter to build and can be used on the output of the Portsdown transmitter before any power amplifier stages.
