You could have some rectification and creation of intermods going on at some
bad, corroded junction. Check the connections.

That front end is so broad-banded that there is probably
no corrosion needed to generate intermod. I had an ICOM
2m handheld that was useless in downtown Phoenix while
mobile on a dual band mobile antenna. I suspect a notch
filter would be the way to go to reduce the intermod
while keeping full functionality of the Beverage.
