I now have a much better grasp of how the wide and narrow band ones work and why a narrow band combiner might work best with pre filtered outputs sent to its input. I will build the W1VD design as I already have ferrites to do this, before buying hard to get (in the UK) and costly big iron cores for building a second W1VD LPF bank. If the W1VD combiner is not suitable I may well buy 3 more iron cores and build a second LPF. I will also try some low inductance resistors instead of the wire wounds, and look at the wire wounds with my AIM analyzer. Thanks agin everyone. Off to mow the lawn or I won't get a lift to and from the pub tonight ;) > Hi Chris, > either method should work: two separate T-type lowpass filters > after each PA will reflect the harmonics before they reach the > narrowband combiner.
