Maybe my email fell in the spam filter because I'm a ham and your junk mail filter's criteria is too wide! ;) Thanks for the complement. I eventually want to post the full design. If you go to my web page for the filter, which is in my original post, I reference a PDF containing the filter designs. I was at the electronics store where I sourced the 5 volt, DPDT latching relays and found that they have a few hundred of them. They also have a 5 volt, 4PDT latching relay that I'm thinking of using in a redesign of the filter. I hope that I can reduce the circuit complexity and the parts count a little. If not, there are at least plenty of the DPDT latching relays to be had. 73, Mac AE5PH On 02/21/2014 03:38 AM, Thomas Sarlandie wrote:
For some reason this message fell into my spam folder. I wonder if maybe that is why you did not get any replies.Your build looks really really good! It would be great to share the schematic and values you used to! Do you have a good cheap source for those latching relays?thomasOn Sun, Feb 9, 2014 at 7:22 PM, Mac A.

The design is compact and requires just a single-sided PCB. The concept could certainly be expanded to provide eight filter banks. I have notposted the EagleCAD files as yet, because I put together mywebsite a few weeks ago. I still have some updating to do. I have attached some images of the finished filter bank and the PCB layout.
