I like Bill's answer for a fixed multi-station setup. Not good enough for a roughly controlled enviornment of FD. Or when a friend drives up to your house running a KW mobile.
I think the bottom line is what the receiver front end was designed to "handle" and how much head room there is from that point to HI RFI message TO the point of failure of the front end device. It would be nice to know these numbers. But Alass, we are confronted with the age old saying, " when in doubt, protect thy self with back to back Hot carrier diodes on the receiver." This doesn't mean this solution won't have possible intermod problems in fringe high RF enviornments of FD, but you won't lose a front end. FWTW.

For best results stubs should be tuned to exact resonance using an analyzer (most tell you how to do this).
