It is true that the front end is very sensitive.
Tightening the squelch will also reduce the gain
of the front end and that will help a lot!!  I
use one of the I.C.E. (think that's the name)
reject filters and that helps a whole lot.  Many
areas of extreme RF density here in Oklahoma City
and I hardly hear any IM anymore.  The filter has
two reject sections at 153 MHz and one up near 157
MHz.  Cuts the sensitivity down on local police
reception but NOAA weather broadcasts and UHF are
basically unaffected.

terrible if you're in an area with lots of RF (paging
systems, hospitals, etc.) as it's very susceptible to
intermod.
