1.823.8 and another at 1.823.2, both with S9+20 db signals, and calling CQ.
What current radio, and with which roofing filter(s) can  handle this
situation best?

Hi Dave,

Now, wait a minute --- we ARE talking about 160-meters, THE GENTLEMAN'S
band, right...?

What true gentleman, in good conscience, would proceed to honk out a CQ a
mere 300-Hz from an (obviously) occupied frequency? Wouldn't a good operator
have preceded his string of CQs with a "QRL?" on the frequency first, or at
least a couple of "IE"'s...?

I don't think YOU have any problem(s) with your receiver whatsoever,
Dave --- it's the guys above & below you who have either technical issues,
or don't appreciate proper etiquette on this, or ANY band...
