NEScaf filter kits temporarily sold out.

May 26, 2010 - 14:57 — N1RX

Due to overwhelming demand, we have again sold out of our current stock of NEScaf filters. Parts are on order for another round. Some items are backordered at our supplier, but we hope to be able to accept orders again within 2-3 weeks time (mid-June timeframe).

Check back later for updates, and thanks for the continued interest in this kit.

This is a real solid performer (but you knew that already)!

Just a quick note to say how impressively this filter works. I built mine in April, but I didn't finish it off (packaging) until mid May. I've played with it a bit since then and finally put it to serious use during this past weekend's SKCC Weekend Sprint.

The NEScaf filter is a gem. During the weekend, band conditions weren't great, so I used it to dig relatively weak signals out of the noise, rather than filter out adjacent stations (there weren't many of those). After applying the filter and playing with my rig's volume control, I could easily fool myself into thinking a signal just above the noise floor was an s6 or 7.

I have a budget HF rig with DSP and a few other signal-tweaking bells and whistles; but the NEScaf outperformed them. And it's far simpler to use. Next: Applying it to my KX-1.

Thanks for an outstanding bit of tech for the shack!
