Ivan, Was that attack really necessary? The machine HAS been off and I contacted you directly regarding this issue and explained that I would leave it off until another pair was found that didn't interfere with you. People like you that just jam your thoughts and comments down everyone elses throat is what gives hams a bad name. You made a request, I was unaware of the interference to you from that location, and complied by shutting down. Making this personal or using smartass email addresses like "ub1lid" are really uncalled for and only serve to make you look bad. Once again I apologize for the interference it caused you, but it was temporary and I shut down as soon as I was made aware of it. It would also have helped if you would have stated WHO you were in the first place, and who was making the complaints instead of just sending the email you did. If you are indeed a ham, and have a valid complaint, then why would you bother to hide it behind the email address you did, not telling me who I was interfering with, or your call sign? You could have told me all this in the first place without me having to reply to your email and solicit this information from you. And I still don't know if you have a call sign or what it is, because all you sent me in the last email was who I was interfering with. I didn't hide from you or become nasty and arrogant, and there really isnt any reason for you to.

If it is, you are 10 KHz away from the adjacent channels that are co-ordinated. You are also 5 KHz from the adjacent channel of a co-ordinated repeater input. What were you thinking??? Umm......turn that junk off NOW!!!!! I think YOU are higher than your insertion loss.
