Bill and Ken - I too have the N8XJK boost regulator and mine made some trash on a few bands. This was very easily resolved with a 2.5 inch mix 31 ferrite core with several turns of the supply line wound through it. LOTS easier than messing with the RF sense stuff on the unit. I have zero garbage coming from the regulator with the ferrite on the line.
