Interesting! I've heard of that stuff and probably need to get some and try it on the pins of the audio processor board on my Mastr II PLL exciter. Every once in a while the audio goes away, but pulling that module and re-inserting it fixes it every time. I'm staring to believe the noise problems I've been fighting for years were just band antennas... an old fiberglass collinear that had gone bad, and a new Sinclair dipole array that apparently had issues from day one. Everything is running *perfect* with the single dipole I threw up on the tower. Paul N1BUG
