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
