Graeme, Sorry to hear of the issue.. How does it work into a dummy load? If it works ok into a dummy load, RF may be upsetting the computer. You can start to isolate by having ferrite clamp on bead on the FireWire cable closest to the computer, but RF can be induced through any cable connected to the computer, including the video, USB, AC line, etc. Also the computer should be grounded to the station RF ground as well as the radio and powersupply.
