Thanks, Mike. In fact, "Leave the low pass filter in place and just put the bandpass/band stop after the output." is exactly what I've been doing. It's better than butchering the rig, I suppose, but

Consider either a bandpass or band stop filter. ?You can use Elsie LC program (downloadable free) to test out the filter. ?My bandpass filters matched the test circuit very well. Leave the low pass
