This post says the uBitx is using either the 45m15a (2 pole) or 45m15b (4 pole) for the 45mhz filter.

https://groups.io/g/BITX20/message/33203 This post says it's the 2 pole 45m15a from WTL https://groups.io/g/BITX20/message/33260 I can't find a WTL data sheet, but here's one from Fox, their 45m15a is toward the bottom of page 2: https://www.mouser.com/ds/2/160/filters-15543.pdf It's +/- 7khz on the 3dB bandwidth, +/- 28 khz for an 18 dB stopband So we're going from roughly 3dB to 18 db while transitioning across 28-7.5=20.5 khz. If that were linear (it's not), a 2khz chunk of that skirt would have a variance of (18dB-3dB)*2khz/20.5khz = 1.46dB Might be less, if the attenuation we need is on a part of the skirt where it's changing a bit more slowly. My hearing is shot from chainsaws and tractors and such. But audio sounded about the same to me most anywhere on the skirt I'll try to take some measurements later today. Jerry
