Description
This is the filter described here:
https://turnislandsystems.com/filters-filters-and-more-filters/ ,
and here:
https://turnislandsystems.com/test-results-shelving-low-pass-filter/
It’s a 30 MHz four section elliptic low-pass filter, combined with a bypassable two-section shelfing filter. The low-pass filter serves as an anti-aliasing filter for a SDR, especially one that is clocked at 66 MHz or so. The shelfing filter will provide moderate attenuation at the lower frequencies, where powerful signals can cause overload. Each of the two shelfing filters can be bypassed or enabled, using the provided jumper clips.
The filter is available in the in-line plug/jack configuration, or in a two-jack arrangement (which fits nicely in a small die-cast aluminum box for extra shielding.)
And these filters really work! Here’s a report from one of the first to try it with the KiwiSDR and the RX888:

If you are outside the USA, please consider ordering two of these! International shipping costs are much higher than my domestic rates, and so far I’m not charging extra for this. I can ship two of these for the same rate as one. Thank you!
