Quick comment, Bill. I found that replacement of the stock 4 pole
filter with a tighter 8 pole filter still results in significant
blowby. I found that putting another 4 pole filter in an earlier part
of the circuit eliminated the blowby very well and left me with plenty
of signal. I don't recall exactly where I stuck that extra 4 pole
filter in there, but it was not far from the standard filter.
Jerry makes a good point, by the way, you can tradeoff a bit of width
in the filter for much better ability to hear in some of the worst
conditions. A lesson hard learned in my shack.
