Darn it, John, now I have to consider getting a DX 1 Pro Mk II. I've
read up on the DX 1 and grounding seems to be a critical issue with
getting your $$$ from the unit. If I may ask, what sort of ground system
are you using with it and was it a big deal to get a good ground.
Thank you!

Hi JB - the grounding is necessary to help suppress local RFI and
ensure a good radio ground for top performance. Mine is just a copper
strap about 8 ft long buried under nine inches of soil = nothing
elaborate.
Considering my poor QTH the DX1 has been a top performer over the
years.

Thanks very much, John! This gives me a glimmer of hope as it sounds
like we live in similar climates (semi-arid, in my case) though I am
quite aways farther from a coastline.
All the best!
