Product Description

Includes 1x RTL-SDR Blog Broadcast FM Band-Stop Filter and 1x SMA male to SMA male adapter.

Blocks the broadcast FM band between 88 – 108 MHz with over 50dB of attenuation. Designed for RX use only.

Insertion loss is less than 0.5 dB between 0 – 1 GHz, and mostly less than 1.5 dB between 1 – 3 GHz. Uses SMA female connectors. Comes with a free SMA male to SMA male adapter.

A broadcast FM block filter can help if you have very strong broadcasts in your area that are overloading the SDR dongle. Also known as an “FM Trap”.

TV installers please read and pay very close attention to the following: This is probably not the right product for you. These filters are designed for software defined radio and radio scanner users. The filter uses SMA connectors. SMA connectors are very common in the professional RF world, but are NOT commonly used in home TV installations. TV installs normally use F-TYPE or PAL connectors. So this filter will not fit onto F-TYPE or PAL connectors which are common in the TV world without the use of an adapter, which is not supplied.

Customers are satisfied with the sturdiness of the product. They say that it is a solid choice for out-of-band FM transmitter measurements, and is well constructed. It completely blocks strong FM signals in their area that were swamping out their SDR. It improves air band reception, and greatly reduces nearby FM broadcast interference. It is perfect for NOAA reception, the noise floor, and has helped P25 reception.

Customers are mixed about the attenuation of the product. Some mention that it has very good attenustion, solid signal attenution, and helps reduce EMI on their RTL-SDR. However, others say that it does not attenute local strong signals and that the signal is not detected.

"...It works very well and 100% attenuates the FM broadcast band. I was amazed how well it cleaned up my reception." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the audio or video adapter. They mention it's tiny and impossible to find a miniature version.

"Man, this thing is tiny. But it does the job and that's all that matters...." Read more

"Not for FM blocking of OTA signals on COAX. Does not fit COAX wire." Read more

"...Instead they are some highly unusual and impossible to find miniature version. Looked everywhere and no one carries an addaptor" Read more

I live 2 miles away from (and in actual line of sight of) a 50 kW FM station, and no fewer than 2 other smaller transmitters. The 50kW station was coming in at -8 dBFS. Trying to receive P25 public safety radio with my two RTL-SDRs mostly worked, but it was clear that the front end of the SDRs was being overloaded by the FM station(s). Installing these units significantly improved the noise floor, and has helped P25 reception.

4.0 out of 5 stars It certainly made a difference for me!
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2017

Man, this thing is tiny. But it does the job and that's all that matters. I'm using it with an SDRplay RSP-1 instead of an RTL-SDR dongle, but the connectors are the same so it's a direct-fit to the radio's antenna connection. Including the little "jumper" to mate both male SMA connectors is a welcome addition. I can attest that it does indeed cut FM reception significantly between 88-108 MHz. I'm only about 12 air miles from multiple 100 kW broadcasters, and just 1,500 feet from a 250 watt FM translator on an AM stick near my neighborhood. This filter reduces the 100 kW stations down to next to nothing even with the SDRplay's low noise amp engaged. The translator still blasts through, which is to be expected, but most importantly it's no longer mixing with other big signals and polluting the 200-430 MHz band range anymore like they did before. Excellent! Now I can listen to UHF air band and everything around it without being overwhelmed by wideband FM broadcast signals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every scanner enthusiast should have one of these.
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2019
Verified Purchase
I was skeptical, but the reviews were good and the price was reasonable, so I ordered one. Am I glad I did. This tiny filter easily installed right at the Uniden Home Patrol SMA input connector and because they give you an adaptor, it easily will go right in line with your existing SMA cable. I primarily listen to the Air Band (aircraft and airports). The FM Broadcast band is very close and those stations are very powerful, which can desensitize your receiver. I am located near several FM broadcast towers (within 2 miles), and my airband reception on the scanner was always substandard. Add to that my location is in a "shadow" of a small mountain between me and SD Airport.

So, I put it in line and immediately I picked up the San Diego Airport ATIS frequency which I could not hear at all before. They old rule is if you can't hear the ATIS, you can't hear the tower since they broadcast from the same spot. Needless to say, the tower now came in too along with ground control. This was an amazing improvement without having to add any amplifier to my antenna. All airborne aircraft now came in loud and clear, when before there was some hiss static. Great product, small size, very reasonable price. I will probably order another for use in my car. Reception across the board was improved in all frequencies for the scanner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid choice for out-of-band FM transmitter measurements
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2020
Verified Purchase
I chose this specifically for making out-of-band harmonic and spurious measurements for a low power FM transmitter project. I'm using an RTL-SDR as a spectrum analyzer to make the measurements, and my goal is to measure out to the 10th harmonic of the 88-108 MHz band. I chose this over another commonly available FM band-stop filter because this unit is made solely from linear elements; the other choice, while perhaps offering a bit more in-band rejection, also has an ESD protection diode which may tend to generate harmonics. I measured this filter on a NanoVNA, calibrating with a 10 dB attenuator on Port 2 to improve its input return loss, then used the included SMA male-male adapter on Port 1. Attenuation was 52+ dB from 88-108 MHz, 5.8 dB at 78, 9.0 dB at 118, less than 0.2 dB at 148, and less than 0.3 pretty much all the rest of the way up to 1 GHz. Return loss was 20 dB or better out to nearly 900 MHz. This is a solid, well-constructed filter that should be quite useful for my purposes.

Pay a bit more money and buy a filter that works! I fitted this between a 50mhz beam antenna and a receiver to remove the FM broadcast band interference. As you can see from the 2 photos, it works a treat! Oh, the actual signal levels indicated are not as per real life as RF attenuators are fitted in circuit?
