[amsat-bb] Baofeng Bf-f8

[Paul Stoetzer]

Since a bandpass filter on the receiver did not correct the problem,
the issue is likely the third harmonic from the transmitted signal. A
receive bandpass filter will naturally pass that third harmonic. What
you need is a low pass filter on the transmit radio. Any commercially
available diplexer will perform this function.
