[NLRS] 6 Meter interference update

[Patrick J. Burke]

Update...
I posted last month looking for suggestions to remedy strong =
interference from TV channel 3 at my QTH.  I had the local cable company =
come out to check for leaks and they replaced all of my cable runs but =
the problem persisted.  I also noticed that the local 6 meter beacon, =
which is running at 100 watts and is located 5 miles away, was being =
heard over much of the band and was completely wiping out 50.125.
The consensus of the group here was that my issue was due to the lacking =
out of band rejection on the Icom 706MKIIG.
I ended up ordering the I.C.E. model 412 filter and it has totally =
resolved the problem.  The interfering signal, which was S9+40 has =
disappeared.  Also, the local beacon is now only audible on its actual =
frequency.
Hopefully my experience will help any of you guys who are struggling =
with TV 3 or other interference issues.  For $39, it was a cheap and =
effective fix!
Thanks for the advice guys and looking forward to finally working some =
stations to the south during the January VHF test.
