The FF-501DX LPF, a high-performance VHF and 10m filter, was obtained at a friend's SK sale. After becoming more active on 10m, the author reexamined the LPF and discovered it to be of high quality. The filter's efficiency was outstanding and the return loss/VSWR was better than estimated. The LPF was connected to a Bird 50R dummy load to evaluate insert loss, cutoff, attenuation over 70MHz, and return loss. The original specifications were found in an old radio magazine, along with a link to the original one-page information sheet. Comparing the results to the original specs confirms the LPF's quality.
