Coy, You did not say anything about what receiver frequency you are using that is getting hit by the 900 mhz transmitter. Do you have a bandpass cavity on your receiver? If you are using a BpBr type of duplexer, then it has almost no rejection to the 900 Mhz signal. You will need a bandpass cavity

No. Nothing on the air all of the time. Anytime that I see it if I disable this transmitter it goes away. This transmitter is dirty. I've been tracking and asking the owner for 3 months to fix it, and they have been dragging their feet. I've been told that these transmitters are notoriously noi

It's very possible that the PA has gone spurious.  It's also possible that you are experiencing intermodulation.  Does the interference always occur when the paging company keys up, or only sometimes when they are keyed up?  My point is, does some other transmitter have to be on the air (or off
