Default CB SWR meter on 122Mhz?

If it's inside the radio, reducing the amount of broadcast FM signal
getting into the receiver's front end would help. Personally, I'd do
this by putting a T connector in line with the antenna, and plugg in a
shorted quarter-wavelength (at the offending FM frequency) chunk of
shorted coax on the extra connector. The length of the stub depends
on the coax you use, and the type of connector.

This is the method which I have seen work most frequently, although that
mainly involved listeners radios in their homes. It also has the advantage
of being cheap.
