Ah, ok. Thanks for the quick response!
The frequency that I’m having issues with is right in the middle of the AM airband though so I’m not sure if that will help in my situation?
Is there one you could recommend? Can it still scan through saved memory banks?
Probably worth it if they can resolve my issue. I wonder if there’s a try before you buy option or somewhere that would let me return it if it doesn’t solve my issue.
Well, the FM broadcast band is adjacent to the VHF air band. The TRX radios have a very wide-band front end and do tend to suffer from overload over a broad spectrum if you are in a high RF environment or have a strong nearby transmitter. I have found from experience that the FM trap helps in a number of frequency bands.
Ah, I just realized that you are having issues with interference within the VHF air band from a frequency also in the VHF air band. Your are right, the FM trap might not do much for that. A good, sharp notch filter is the best way to approach that problem.
That’s the problem I’ve found. A sharp notch filter is virtually impossible to get. I’m looking into a cavity filter but I have no idea how much that’s going to cost.
Thanks. I have shotgun cable so I can actually run two antennas. One to a Pro2006 and one to my Uniden.
It has 5KHz and 12,5Khz and a wide filter +/-9KHz for AM. That makes it possible to receive any 8.33KHz channel. Usually the 8,33 channels that in fact doesn't exactly match 12,5KHz and 25KHz bandplan are found in high altitude levels like 30,000ft where aircrafts transmissions cover a very large area and frequencies cannot be reused as another aircraft in a different part of europe would hear it. Those transmissions are anyhow uninteresting to listen to. Sometimes aircrafts talk to each other at those altitudes using the chit-chat channels like 123.450 that are more interesting to monitor but that then follows the 25KHz bandplan.
