I realized my 3 switchable filters aren't enough for all HF bands.
| Filter | Ham Bands Coverage | Frequency Range |
|---|---|---|
| LPF1 | 1.8 – 3.5 MHz | 0.1 - 5 MHz |
| LPF2 | 5 – 7 – 14 MHz | 5.1 - 18 MHz |
| LPF3 | 21 – 28 MHz | 10.1 - 30 MHz |
E.g. 1.8 MHz has also a 2nd harmonic not filtered by LPF1, while 7 MHz also has a 2nd harmonic not filtered by LPF2.
Therefore I suppose I need 4 or 5 filters:
- LPF1 cut off at 2.2 MHz for 1.8 MHz
- LPF2 cut off at 5.6 MHz for 3.5 and 5.3 MHz
- LPF3 cut of at 11 MHz for 7 and 10 MHz
- LPF4 cut off at 23 MHz for 14, 18 and 21 MHz
- LPF5 cut off at 32 MHz for 24.9 and 28 MHz
