Hello all,
I’ve been working on resurrecting my CB base station that I used to use several years ago, and one thing I noticed is that many of the same local stations that I used to hear fairly clearly now seem to be shrouded in static. I know this could be due to many different factors, but one big change since the last time I used my setup is the activation of a local P25 trunked system with a site only about 500 ft from my house. It blasts a constant control channel on 151.4075 MHz. Is it possible that this could be desensitizing the receive on my radio even down on the CB freqs?
I am thinking about getting a 11 meter band pass filter, or will that not really do any good? Do most CB radios have something like that already built in?
The filter I am thinking about trying is this one:

Just curious if getting one of these would be pointless, or if I am way off track.
Thanks.
