My personal observation. I used an Alinco DJ-X10 for over twenty years in combination of public service/milair/conventional frequencies. As trunking became the way to monitor public service, the Alinco got used less and less. It got hit by everybit of intermod near me. I have always had some kind of tower nearby that blanketed many frequencies that were monitored. Filters were mentioned, but as you said, cuts the area out you wish to hear. Try notch filters. You can cut out specific frequencies with those. Again, just my observation.
