Try forming about 10 ft. of your coax into a balun.....loops about 6" in diameter and using some tape to hold it together. That might keep enough RF off the rig to keep it going. If this helps, consider buying a "line isolator" from Radio Works. 73 Steve N4LQ ----- Original Message ----- From: "KARL MARDERIAN" <[email protected]> To: "Elecraft Reflector" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2010 5:08 AM Subject: [Elecraft] Buddipole
