On 2 separate occasions this weekend I've had the receiver in my Orion lose
sensitivity when working split and using the amplifier. Tonight I was on 40
metres SSB listening 7.094 and transmitting 7.184 MHz. I called KH7X and
when the receiver came back the signal had dropped. It had dropped
significantly! It came right back up as soon as I turned off the amplifier.
I cycled the amplifier on and off but the problem remained. I cycled the
Orion and presto the amplifier no longer degraded the signal. I transmitted
split again and could not duplicate the problem?
Both receivers were in LSB and other parameters were as they had been for
several hours. The amp is a Ten-Tec Hercules II and the Orion is running
2.055 with keying loop #1 is on.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any thoughts?
