For commercial airlines is it just old equipment or all equipment that has this error? That is, is there actually an off the shelf radio that would solve the problem?
I'm not qualified to answer. Avionics needs to go through a testing program called TSO.
https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/production_approvals/tsoa/The FAA certainly could require that the radar meet the specs. There are several off-the-shelf waveguide filters that are -60dB at 20 MHZ out-of-band readily available within that frequency range but a quick search doesn't show anything off-the-shelf with the radar band as the passband.
It certainly seems that sufficient selectivity within the radar set to avoid interference is well within the state of the art and has been for some time. Whether FAA has tightened the spec in the last 30-plus years is up to them to answer.
