## Overview

The Flamingo AM is a high-performance broadcast AM bandstop filter designed specifically for software defined radio applications. With a 40dB attenuation for AM frequencies, it minimizes interference while allowing DC power pass-through. Built in North America, it features a durable anodized aluminum enclosure and includes a 2-year warranty, making it a reliable choice for serious SDR enthusiasts.

## Description

A high-quality, high-performance bandstop filter designed for software defined radio (SDR) applications. Designed and manufactured by NooElec in North America, with a full 2-year product warranty. Broadcast AM can be particularly problematic due to the high-powered transmitters used for broadcasting in some areas. These signals can overload the front end of an SDR, causing imaging and a number of other issues. As such, Flamingo AM makes a great companion to our Ham It Up series of HF upconverters. We designed Flamingo AM to provide sufficient attenuation for broadcast AM frequencies (>40dB typical) while ensuring adjacent bands, such as 160m, are minimally affected. The -3dB rolloff of the filter is 350kHz and 1900kHz. Minimal out-of-band insertion loss means the filter can stay in place for most any application, though we do recommend removing Distill:AM from your setup when not listening to HF frequencies. As a true bandstop filter, you are able to pass-through DC (bias power) when it is required. DC current handling is 250mA (min), and the maximum recommended signal level is 18dBm (5Vp-p), so there is no issue using the filter for higher-power applications. Typical performance characteristics can be found on the downloads tab of the product page on our website. Flamingo AM has its filter circuitry fully shielded with an EMI frame, and has its front end protected by an ESD diode meant for RF applications. 2 mounting holes are available on the PCB for various mounting options, and the SMA hardware (washer and nut) is included.

## Features

- A high-quality, high-performance broadcast AM bandstop filter designed for software defined radio (SDR) applications. Includes free male SMA-male SMA barrel connector! Designed and manufactured by NooElec in North America. Impeccable quality and full 2-year warranty
- Broadcast AM stations can be particularly problematic due to the high-powered transmitters used for broadcasting in some areas. These signals can overload the front end of an SDR, causing imaging and a number of other issues. As such, Flamingo AM makes a great companion to our Ham It Up series of HF upconverters (available separately on desertcart)
- Flamingo AM was designed to provide approximately 40dB attenuation for broadcast AM frequencies, while ensuring that adjacent bands are minimally affected. The -3dB rolloff of the filter is 350kHz and 1900kHz. The minuscule out-of-band insertion losses means the filter can stay in place for most any application--though we do recommend removing Flamingo AM from the signal chain when not receiving HF frequencies
- Flamingo AM is a proper bandstop filter, so you are able to pass-through DC (bias-tee) power when required. DC current handling is 250mA (min), and the maximum recommended signal level is 18dBm (5Vp-p), so there is no issue using the filter for higher-power applications
- The filter is fully EMI shielded, installed in a custom anodized aluminum enclosure for further protection and isolation. The front end is protected by an RF-rated ESD diode, which provides protection not just for your filter, but also the radio or SDR behind it

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it is suppose to
*by R***. on July 8, 2025*

Blocks harmonics from AM bands on the 3-5 MHz shortwave bands. Cleans up the 80m band quite nicely. Price was descent, well packaged, and arrived on time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AM harmonics wayyy down for SWL
*by T***M on August 7, 2024*

First, this Flamingo AM notch filter is very well constructed and I appreciate they include a male-to-male SMA adapter so it can be easily placed inline right out of the box.My application is shortwave listening and DXing. Using a portable Tecsun AM/FM/SW radio and now also an SDR, both in conjunction with an MLA-30+ active magnetic loop antenna.My problem: Even with reduced antenna gain, I would pick up higher harmonics from a couple of VERY strong local AM towers all the way up to >3000 kHz on the MLA-30+. Through the antenna rig, the stations are many tens of dB stronger than weak SW signals at the fundamental and several dB higher at the harmonics. Thought I'd try an AM band stop filter and see if that would suppress the harmonics ringing through the low-noise amp.Success!Installed this between the antenna bias tee output and the radio. On my Tecsun I no longer hear AM stations echoing through multiple 2000-3000 kHz frequencies. On my SDR I still pick up the AM stations at a much lower level, and the harmonics vanished. (By default, the Tecsun uses the internal ferrite for direct AM reception.)I see no discernible loss of SW signals either, though there's not a lot to find in the 2-3 MHz band here. This is with it inserted after the bias tee, as noted above, so as to not eat out-of-band insertion loss from the filter before amplification, though I've not yet tried placing it between the antenna and tee.Perfect! For my needs, at least empirically, this did the trick right out of the box. Will probably leave as a permanent part of my setup to keep the blowtorch AM stations quiet for SW DXing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice bargain filter for AM broadcast...
*by W***R on August 23, 2020*

If you need a filter for the AM broadcast band either for SDR purposes or test and measurement purposes… This is a nice inexpensive option.You can do better but you will spend 5 to 10 times as much money to get better performance.This is a nice inexpensive product and a nice package with a common connector style that you can work with.Things you need to know about this unit:The SMA connectors are a little fragile. If you want to install some adapters on them to convert them to type-N or TNC or install a DC block you may need to be careful. I managed to snap one off and have to solder it back on. I successfully repaired my filter with little effort and it swept fine after the fact so no harm done.The performance of my filter was in line with what the manufacture specified according to my VNA. I would like the shelf to be a little sharper, but as I said to get that you have to pay a lot more money.This filter is easily good enough to take harmonic measurements for AM Broadcast if you have a good spectrum analyzer, and it will work well to protect your receiver if that’s what you’re looking for.You should not transmit through this filter, and it does not voltage pass, so you should install a DC block to protect the filter.
