One purveyor of Dyna FM3 mods offers a ceramic filter as an "upgrade" to one of his upgrade kits. IIRC it goes between the output of the rf front end board and the input to the IF strip. It just gets stuck in there with no attempt at impedance matching or any buffering. I've always wondered if this was a proper application of a ceramic filter esp since it's being added to an existing design. OTOH, testimonials from satisfied customers gush very positively about the improvement in selectivity.
