Good 23cms filters are easy to build and there are plenty of designs available on the web:

Simple band pass filter for 23cms

A nice simple to construct design by GM8OTI http://www.marwynandjohn.org.uk/GM8OTI/proj23cmBPF/proj23cmBPF.html

Example made by M0YDH (using capacitors found in the Finningley ARS scrap heap during CAT17!). Thanks to John Cooke GM8OTI for the drawing where dimensions in blue are the result of scaling. Elements are brass rods Ø3mm x 19 long off inside face.

Look through cavity filter for 23cms

Design published in CQ-TV 245

Kuhne PCB 58 is a low pass filter and coupler rated up to 30W. This is available as a kit of PCB, tinplate box and SMA connectors from Alan Melia G3NYK. It's priced £21.50 in 2018. This does not include discrete components for the coupler portion.

The PCB is originally shown here which contains a PDF with full spec, schematic and colour photos.

Under downloads there is a Beschreibung / Descriptions link.

Neil G4DBN has published test results for the filter and populated the coupler circuit. NB the diode he chose is stripe marked at the ANODE end - when you use high magnification!
