Your 2-metre station suffers receiver overload from several land mobile service transmitters on adjacent bands. What type of filter could help?

Receiver overload from strong transmitters on adjacent bands means that unwanted RF energy from both above and below the 2-metre band is overwhelming the receiver's front end. To fix this, you need a filter that allows the desired 2-metre signals to pass while attenuating signals outside this range. A band-pass filter is the perfect solution because it passes a specific "band" of frequencies and blocks the rest. It essentially combines the properties of both low-pass and high-pass filters to create a window of acceptable frequencies allowing your receiver to hear only the 2-metre band. High-pass and low-pass filters only block frequencies on one side of the desired band, leaving the receiver vulnerable on the other side. A notch filter is designed to eliminate one specific narrow interfering frequency, making it unsuitable for blocking multiple transmitters spread across different adjacent bands.
