[TowerTalk] intermod filter for 2M

[VE6JY Don Moman]

The DCI filter is the one to get.  I know various hams who have tried the
notch route and other simple filters with no luck, but the DCI filter cured
the intermod problem. I have several in use myself and am very pleased with
them.

If you use it mobile, remember to turn it over every couple months.
