Description
Vectronics LP-30 1500-watt HF low pass filter for TV Interference
It is used and in excellent condition.
The Vectronics LP-30 is a 1500-watt HF low pass filter designed to suppress transmitter harmonics that cause TV interference (TVI). It installs inline between your transceiver (or amplifier) and antenna/tuner. It is a classic USA-made accessory popular in ham radio for clean operation on 160–10 meters.Key Specifications
