Does anyone know offhand what receiver integrated circuit is used in the
CCRadio?
My CCRadio retired to Arizona last year, so I can't ask it anymore

The SFP series is 4 elements, the SFR series is 6 elements.
The 6 element filter has steeper skirts, so is preferred, but may be
a bit more expensive.
The suffix letter indicates the 6 dB bandwidth.
Filters scavenged from a DX440/ATS803A were the SFP450I and SFR450K.
The SFP450I works great. I t

Unless you wanted to go outside, you can get the same effect using a
