The only good filter is a cw one by Yaesu
The Yaesu SSB filter is a bit better. qRP ARCI has an article on them and
the graph showed some tighter skirts but I found it wasn't worth $279

Re: eBay filters
There are a couple of videos on YouTube of them, one in particular has some halfway decent audio and I was able to hear a little difference. The mutants just sounded a little richer in audio. But if

Re: eBay filters
Is there a way to implement the MAX4581 IC to use as the filter? Around $2 plus some passive components.

Re: eBay filters
The Murata filters are similar to the internal filter in the radio. Probably a little tighter bandwidth but not near as good as the Collins mechanical filters. I'm not sure what the filter number is

Re: eBay filters
Understood but do they work well enough to make a difference? I’m working on a budget and people are asking insane money for the Collins filters, be they OEM or Inrad.

Re: eBay filters
Those Murata filters are ceramic. Quite different from the Collins mechanicals.

eBay filters
Hi all. Has anyone tried the Chinese filters available on eBay for around $100?
If so do they work or should I just set fire to a $100 bill?

Yes, you will need to search and evaluate the vendors for the *"Collins filter w/o board."* I got mine on eBay from Japan for *$103* but he no longer has availability. I can't vouch for this UK dealer
