wrote in message ... Am experiencing RF on the chassis of the radio when transmit. Have good ground system, clean power supply, resonant antenna w/ low SWR. When I touch the antenna of my RF Field Strength meter to any metal on the radio, wattmeter or power supply it pins the needle. Opened radio, looked at ant output connectors, could find no problems or bad solder joints. Installed 1:1 choke balun on coax at radio, no effect on problem. Hear myself talking in the headset and when transmitting it triggers a motion detector light mounted outside and above the ham shack. Same effect when using a dummy load. Defect inside the radio, anyone experienced this? 73, Steve Put the choke balun at the feed point. Don't touch the FSM antenna to any metal. You might blow the diode. Is there low swr on dummy load? Is coax and dummy load double shielded? Motion detector probably needs to be bypassed. Check for ground faults in the house wiring. What kind of antenna? Describe 'good ground' |
