[Lowfer] HELP !!! my beacon is killing my receive !!

[Ed Phillips]

Don't know why you want to keep your beacon on when you listen but if 
you do I suggest narrow bandpass filters.  Plenty of good filter design 
programs available and they are pretty easy to build.  Maybe even a 
simple series-tuned circuit at the [low impedance?] input to your 
receiver would work.
