I purchased and installed one of the Jackson Harbor converters, with a 10 MHz output, early this year. It works very well and is extremely inexpensive. Since I'm cursed with living less than 2 miles from a 50kW station on 1270 kHz, I opted for the improved performance filter with the kit. The new converter replaced a Palomar converter, which was totally useless in my environment. I took a look at the Palomar circuit and found that it has a broadband gain stage AHEAD of the BCB filter! The JH converter shrugs off the BC station, with the exception of a few stray noises and cross-mod products, probably from rectifying joints in guttering or wire fences. 73...
