I've been having and RFI problem on 17m since I first got capability for that band last year. My new Flex-5000 has that problem, and the Flex-3000 before it, and the K3 before it and the IC-7600 before it. Every article has been read, and many pounds of suitable ferrite installed essentially everywhere. All the other bands are fine -- but 17m is, how shall we say... possessed. I have counterpoises actually tuned for 17m, and a feedline common mode choke the provides over 1800 ohms isolation from1.8MHz to 21MHz. But when I turn on vox on 17m and speak there is "audio" showing on the vox input after I stop talking. It was far worse with a ProSet Plus-IC on the IC element, and better, but still bad on the HC-4 element or a ProSet HC-6. What RF susceptibility suppression techniques work best on the Flex-5000?
