Hi.
I noticed last night that if I am listening to 30m and
I place my hand on the case of the KX1 (anywhere on
the
case but especially over the 30m module), that the
signals get a bit quieter.
I'm wondering if it's a capacitive effect since the
30m module components are separated from the case
by only a thin rubber foot...
I have 26ft wire connected as an antenna and about
15ft
as a counterpoise.
I wondered if the 30m module wasn't grounded properly
but I don't suppose it would work at all if the ground
wire was broken (mind you if I remember correctly
there
are two ground hookups - maybe one has given out).
Can someone else with a KX1 confirm this behaviour?
It doesn't happen on 20m/40m.
Thanks,
Martin.
VA3SIE.
