There is NOTHING you can do to reduce received SPLATTER other than
move away from that frequency.  The other tools work well (very well)
for IMD, but not for splatter.

I use a 1.5 kHz filter when phone contesting.  I set the FC to about 1.1 and have not problems.  I tell the K3 to kick in that filter at BW=1.7 kHz.
