Richard.

Divide and conquer.

Connect the F5K to a dummy load and listen to the output on a second receiver.  
If you have the reverb, then the problem is not in the antenna system.  Look 
for the problem locally.

Make sure things are grounded well.  Especially the PC, which should have a low 
impedance ground strap between it and the FLEX-x000.  Both of those make up the 
radio system, so they should be at the same ground potential.

Subject: [Flexradio] 5000A ECHO OR REVERB

I have been plagued from day one with intermittent reverberation or echoing on 
the transmitted signal from my 5000a.  Despite hundreds of software adjustment 
experiments and putting ferrite snap beads both ends of every cable attached to 
the 5000a I continue to be plagued and embarrassed by this problem on the air 
and ridiculed by my ham friends.  I also searched the knowledge base for a 
solution but the only related article is based on the SDR-1000, and I'm not 
sure it applies.  Are any other 5000A  owners experiencing this?  What did they 
do to slay this demon?
