The one major problem with the DSL is that every time I would key on 160 the DSL would just shut down and loose connectivity completely. I tried building filters, toroid wraps and even shielded tel-co wiring but anything over 50 watts on 160 cause a disconnection using the DSL service. I tried four different DSL modems, still no improvement. Then Dan, K3ZXL suggested I try a filter made by Westek Electronics, their type TC-Z100B1 telephone DSL line filter, which I ordered right on line from their website at www.westek.com.
The item cost only $8.50 with shipping cost of $5.95. After installation all the interference which used to crash the connection is gone. Shipping cost were $5.95. Now running a full KW on 160 is possible after plugging this filter between the wall jack and the DSL modem. Regards, Herb Schoenbohm, KV4FZ ______________ Hello A word of caution regarding the above "solution" to 160 getting into and shutting down a modem. I ordered the TC-Z100B1 and put it in line and it does not allow DSL to pass. I called Westek and talked to the head engineer (John Martin) and he verified it would not work as it will not pass DSL. My DSL comes from Century Link (Formerly Quest) over my phone line. 73 Ken W0LSD _________________ Topband Reflector
