I recently put up a phased set of four 2m meter antenna for EME to find out
that the front end of my IC-9100 is being blasted by pager intermod.

I got a notch filter for the frequencies involved from PAR Electronics.
Question is now:   Where inline is the best place to put the filter?



Before the pre-amp, since (hopefully) the intermod is being created by overloading the input of the LNA.


Pray that you're not getting intermod ahead of the feedpoint (e.g. from rectification at a dissimilar metal junction).


Before or after the mast mounted pre-amp?  Or down at the radio end?
