OM Power OM6BPF Automatic Bandpass Filters are extremely useful and attractive multiband inline desktop units, which contain six individual high-Q hand-tuned internal band pass filter boards that cover all six Amateur Radio contesting bands: 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters. The OM Power OM6BPF effectively removes unwanted and interfering noise and signals from all but the single band selected for operation. Enjoy ultra-quiet reception and eliminate out-of-band emissions from the transmitted signal. The OM6BPF features low insertion loss, excellent out-of-band rejection, and handles 200 watts key-down RF. The filter design is 50 ohm, and this unit has SO-239 connectors for installation between the transceiver and the input of an amplifier or a tuner. Adding the OM Power OM6BPF will prove its worth everywhere – especially where multiple stations are present on multiple bands from a specific location like DX expeditions, MS/MM contest stations and SO2R stations. The OM6BPF protects the front end of the receiver and also eliminates or reduces interference coming from every other band, for quieter reception at any station. Join the "Contesting Class" of operators who use individual band pass filters, with the convenience of an attractive, self-contained and functional multi-band filter unit. Choose OM Power OM6BPF Automatic Bandpass Filters for your station.

The OM6BPF single front panel push-button allows quick manual selection of any one of the six bands: a long press toggles between automatic mode or bypass. Automatic band selections may be input via the rear panel ‘Control’ connector from an OM Power Amplifier, or with an Icom HF transceiver ACC band voltage, or with a Yaesu or Elecraft transceiver Band Data, or from a user supplied band decoder or station controller. DX Engineering carries a variety of products that support automation.

Internal band-switching relays and band-selection LEDs draw about 300mA at 12 VDC, powered by the rear panel 2.1 mm power connector just below a power on-off rocker switch. A mating power connector cable or power supply are sold separately, such as the convenient DXE-PSW12D1A 120 VAC to 12 VDC 1A linear wall transformer power supply.
