Another thing you could try is to throw some ferrites on the microphone
cord...............the kind that are placed on power cords to prevent RF
from getting into equipment. This might work if the RF is being picked up by
your mic cord.
If you have an RF problem because of inadequate decoupling causing RF on the
shield of your feedline, that is another problem.

I don't think you said what kind of antenna you are using. If using a
magnet mount antenna why don't you just extend the coax length by 10 or 15
feet with RG-58X coax and put the antenna on some sort of metal sheet, tin
cookie sheet or a metal filing cabinet or something like that. At that
distance the antenna should be far enough away to stop the problem. Also,
this shelter you spoke of, I can't see the walls being a problem for RF
getting out although high power would is best for longer distance.
Good Luck

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.

I have a Yeasu ft8100r dual band 2m /440 rig. I am having problems on
the 2 meter side of the rig. When I depress the ptt I rig hangs in
transmit. This does not happen on 440. Does anybody know why this
might be happening.

Thanks
