ubject: Re: [Flexradio] RFI on 10 meter Have been out from home for some days now, but I'm back, and have just rewired the Mic. Works fine on all bands except 15 and 10 meters. It's not so bad on 15 meters, but 10 meter is really bad. I know my antenna is out of tune on 10 meter

Ok, I get the message. Another thing: I seem to remember I have read something about the Yaesu cable I am using is not 100 % compatible and should be fixed, but I can't remember where I read it or how it should be fixed. Ulf, I am not currently a Flex user. Was in the past but this is kind of

Ulf, I am not currently a Flex user. Was in the past but this is kind of a general - non-flex issue. I am assuming from what you said that your shack is in the barn. If this is the case remember that the counterpoise - the metal roof on the barn - is the other half of a 1/2 wave dipole. Bein
