The OP said that he doesn't get any interference when his transmitter is
off, so my best place to start looking is the front end of the receiver,
where the normal filtering of any decent FM receiver should take care of the
"image" problem. However, when a very strong signal (like from a 100 mW
legal transmitter) comes blowing into the front end of the receiver from a
few feet away, crossmod and intermod are NOT your friend, and no designer in
this world can make a brick wall filter that will take care of it.
So, you're saying, that although the aviation AM radio energy is not
being transmitted by the local MP3 FM transmitter, the receiver's
front (RF amplifier) is so overwhelmed by the local MP3 FM
transmitter's signal, that it enables aviation AM radio energy to
directly enter the receiver through cross-modulation and
inter-modulation? Did I understand you correctly?
Isn't there also a possibility that nearby aviation AM radio energy is
entering the local MP3 FM transmitter through the power lines (or
transmitting antenna), and causing it to retransmit that aviation
content in addition to the MP3 content?
