Hi Domenico, I8CVS, I am grateful that you took the time to look at my measurements und send me valuable advice. I have today sent our correnspondence to my contact person in SSB and keep you informed about their answers. I will also study the diagram you attached, to understand, how you

Hi Werner, HB9BNK I have seen your measurement on spectrum analyser with and without the passband cavity filter but the result is not satisfactory because you need to add a notch cavity filter tuned to suck the - 20 dBm offending POCSAG signal at 147.300 MHz By the way you can solve the problem

Hi Werner, HB9BNK In addition to my previous message I found that KVG in Germany make Frontend crystal filters upon customer specification in the range 100 to 200 MHz. The only problem is that they are large and flat only +/- 7 KHz (14 KHz total) and the insertion loss is 7 dB

Werner Kullmann, HB9BNK expunged (hb9...@uska.ch): What an amazing responsetime on this list ! (post the question, go shopping, find valuable advice !) thank you all very much ! Since you have plenty of gainr, one cheap alternative might be to try a tuned stub inline with the feedline.

Werner: I EMPHATICALLY agree with the advice to turn down the gain. Improving your IMD will provide much more bang for the effort than trying to find a filter with a loaded Q of over 100 at 2m. An easy way (if imperfect) to get it right is to maximize the RF gain in the Icom radio and then
