Re: Point 2: - You are so right, a few days ago i made an enquiry to a sales rep of Chinese manufacturer of 5G External filters regarding the item cost plus shipping to the UK for a specific filter rx3.8 - 4.2GHz with a stop band from 3.4 to 3.7GHz that was listed with the model number etc for ordering purposes and with all the other information for the device. A reply came back asking for a particular requirement to be specified that was already in the product spec sheet catalogue number .... this flagged up alarm bells as to whether i would actually end up with the right product being delivered. It was also nearly three times the cost of the one i already had.
Ideally i need to have the opinion from an RF engineer who also possesses the RF test sets to see if a slight re-tune of the one i have, to increase the stop band from 3.65 up to 3.7 GHz is possible or not.
5G filters: If you provide the frequency band to be used and the frequency band to be blocked, it should be possible to solve the issue. One suggestion is that if the 5G filters that are returned do not solve the problem, you could consider installing two filters, which may double the effect.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Doubling up filters to improve cutoff will only work if they are already functional at the correct frequencies.

Is there such a thing as anti 5G paint? One of those reet thick owd lead laden jobs?
Shimmie up the mast and paint the transmitter parts in same colour with hefty dose of lead rich paint.

It looks very clean, give it a scrub with a toothbrush.
