Hi again, Thanks for the responses so far. The feedback is great and it gives me somewhere to start. I just wanted to update the information and reply to a few questions.
My D-STAR radio locks up while I'm transmitting PSK-31 when my antenna tuner is in-line. If I put the antenna tuner to bypass, the D-STAR radio works. This is why I believe there is something going on with the antenna tuner. I mostly use my buddipole set-up for 20 meters in a V-shape up about 20'. I have to guy the antenna, so perfect configurations don't happen a lot. This is why I have to use my antenna tuner to bring SWR back down to 1.5:1 or less. Since my set-up is portable, I don't get a lot of time through the week to set-up and test. My HF work is usually done on the weekend. I will try a few suggestions and post my findings soon. Once again, thank for the responses.
