4-20. PC-1010/1020 Low Pass Filters

PC-1010/1020 is a band switched two section low pass filter. The filter is connected between the output of the Power
Amplifier (PC-500D) and the antenna connector to suppress harmonics 30 dB or more. The filters are designed for a
50 ohm load and it is important that the load be quite close to 50 ohms, non-reactive. The low pass filter is also used
during receiving operations to suppress possible interference from strong local VHF signals.
