Well, you shouldn't have "that much" if any RF in the shack. Chokes, etc are band-aids masking a real problem, at least in the shack. Of course if your antenna, feedline, coupling is not clean, resonant, installed properly... which is probably why you have stray RF getting inside to the gear. Establish a stout/robust common earth ground outside the shack for feed-line entrance, power supplies, radios, amps, tuners. "Home-run" heavy grounding wire from each individual unit to the single common ground point. This eliminates inter-equipment ground loops and re-radiation between chassis. BTW - shack electrical outlet 'ground' is NOT to be considered RF system ground. Conductors are too light and likely loop through many other points to some unknown eventual tie back to electrical common. That's for GFI safety return. ==================================== 1.

Occasionally knocks out the USB port, need to reboot the PC to get it going again. Running 6700 and Intel I7 with Win7 64 bit. Was more frequent with the 5000A. I have some split toroids on the cable but this happens at the most inopportune moments. Sure would like to get this solved 100% _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz To opt out of the Reflector: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz
