Thats not the problem. Most of the time I operating in
Red Cross Shelters and the Radio and antenna are going to be in close
proximity. Last year, I was at a shelter during a hurricane and the
antenna had to be indoors. In theses situations, I need High power to
get throught the walls of the shelters.

Any Ideas.

Well it as definately RF getting into the rig. I put the antenna on top
of my car and the rig worked perfectly. Now, Since I plan to use this
rig close to the antenna, how do I keep the rf out the rig?


I guess I will have to put in a steel tool box and keep the head outside
of the rig.


Any other Ideas.


How well does it behave at its lowest power setting in your preferred
layout?

Can you reliably hit the repeater at that power?

Have you tried clipping ferrite beads to the power leads, any external
speaker leads, any control head/main body leads, and the mike cable?
