I dunno if the larger cross section would help significantly or not. Thinking of a band the width of the core, with tabs to fit under the transformer mounting bolts. ?? Have you tried a piece of steel, (tin can, etc.,) as a shield just behind the PTO? Solidly attached to the chassis. IF sufficient improvement to warrant, try a piece of mu-metal in the same spot. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
