Re: RE:Band stop filter AM/FM overload

AM  and FM are two different animals (bands, actually). I live less than 2 miles from WBZ's 50KW
antenna..(1030 KHz). Filtering depends more on what you're listening to. Your AM station isn't likely
to bother your satellite photos, and your local pager transmitter isn't going to harm your shortwave
listening.  ALL filters cut the signal you are listening to.  They just cut the stuff outside to the passband
better. Also, a good ground helps. An outside groundrod is a good ground for the end of you coax cable.
 That way the shield doesn't act as an antenna.
   Next, what 'band'  do you plan to spend your time with?

To all:

 

I am wondering if anyone has any idea's of constructing a am/fm bandstop filter for the pcr1000. I live close to some towers

here in Tucson AZ and getting swamped. I can have just a 4 ft section of coax and still get a signal, so anyone with ideas

would help.
