Contester BPF Matrix «Perfo Box - 200»
Consists of 6 band switching system and chassis for six bands.
Any "Perfo Box - 200" fiters can be installed while front panel labeling is provided for six contesting bands.
Band Pass Filters «Perfo Box - 200» achieve 60 to 90 dB of out-of-band suppression and insertion loss less then -0.5db.
They eliminate image and harmonic RF interference issues for dedicated mono-band operations in multi-radio contesting environments.

- The bandpass filter can also be selected by internal BCD, 4bit band decoder, 5 pin round connector on a rear panel
- The Contester BPF system is looking for a Positive BCD trigger signal in a Yaesu/Elecraft standard 4 bit code
- Only one control signals can be used at any time. Either external band decoder (decoded six band signals) or internal BCD decoder (4 bit BCD signal)
- N type input and output connectors on demand;
- BandPass filters can be replaced by the filters for the bands of your interest;
