About this item
- Flamingo+ FM (Flamingo FM v2) is a high attenuation bandstop filter designed to stop very strong broadcast FM transmissions from causing overload and other issues with your radio or SDR
- The attenuation level of this filter is much higher than Flamingo FM v1 (>60dB typical avg. & >70dB typical max attenuation). We recommend this filter for urban environments and other locations with high-wattage FM transmitters nearby. For other locations, Flamingo FM v1 is a better option
- Flamingo+ FM has a higher attenuation than other similar commercial filters, while also have a lower insertion losses outside of the stop band (<0.25dB avg.) and less of an effect on the adjacent VHF airband of 108MHz-137MHz (8dB avg. attenuation vs 16dB avg. of similar filters)
- Designed and manufactured by Nooelec in North America, with a full 2-year product warranty

Customers like the FM broadcast band stop filter for its excellent performance and build quality. They say that it eliminates every FM transmitter and works well for suppressing FM station interference. They also say that the filter works well and is much better for most applications that need an FM notch.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the fm signal strength of the filter. They say it gives good blocking, and eliminates every FM transmitter. They also say it attenuates the FM Broadcast band very well, and performs better at lower FM frequencies. Overall, most are satisfied with the quality and performance of this FM filter.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I really recommend connect this filter next to your SDR hardware using the connector included, I connected mine using a 20 cm cable with SMA Male to Male connectors and is more than enough to inyect FM interference again in the line, I was about to ask for a refund but it was my fault at first place
Only gripe I have is the silkscreening is already almost completely gone after about a month and a half of use. Its only cosmetic so I didnt feel the need to dock the review

I am not super sure how the local FM stations can be causing so much interference to my SDRs when receiving ADS-B (1090mhz), but after plugging this in, I am seeing 3-5 times the positions reported when compared with just the SDRs.
I installed the filter at 3PM on 2/12. Since then, I had over double the positions reported on the 12th, and around four times of my "normal" 20k positions today on the 13th (see the attached picture). I also noticed my peak message rate, prior to sending it to FR24/FA went from ~40msgs/sec at peak, to over 200!

The harmonics are definitely diminished, and the original frequencies are still somewhat tunable, although I'm not normally using my SDR to listen to FM radio. I've been able to tune into some broadcasts that were being drowned out before, so I'm pretty happy about it.
No technical measurements really, just anecdotal. I really should do a before/after where I'm on a frequency with strong interference, then add this filter in and see how much it attenuates. I may do that later and then update with some actual #'s. But otherwise, I'm pretty happy with this.

La marca es excelente y fabrica buenos productos.
I nobrand che mi sono capitati fra le mani hanno spesso la spiacevole tendenza a filtrare solo la parte bassa della gamma usata dalle radio commerciali, questo invece taglia decisamente tutta la banda 88-108.
Consigliato sempre a tutti i possessori di sdr e scanner quando si utilizzano antenne esterne.
In caso lo vogliate usare con il gommino in dotazione su uno scanner portatile, tenete comunque presente le perdite di inserzione del filtro che, soprattutto in banda aerea, possono essere importanti (vedi seconda immagine inserita).
Nota: dai valori riportati nei diagrammi vanno tolti circa 0.10 dB di perdita dovuta ai vari cavi ed adattatori usati per collegare il filtro all'analizzatore. Quindi, ad esempio, a 145Mhz la perdita dovuta al solo filtro sarà di 0.78dB.
