This bandpass RX filter has been designed to protect your radio against the strong signals from MW broadcasting band which might overload the receiver. Let's have a look how much it can reject the out of band signals.

The filter's input and output are connected to the 'PORT_1' and 'PORT_2' of the NanoVNA-F'.
Make sure you have calibrated your NanoVNA for the 1 MHz to 3 MHz range.
