It may reduce the SWR. Just roll up a few turns of coax near the
feedpoint; that will act as a balun. (More important for transmit that
receive really.)

Narrow filters only help if you have strong signals within the audio
passband which cause the AGC to reduce the packet signal. Ie probably
not.

Unlikely to be any help. What are you using as the packet modem?
