OK..I got my old DX440 shortwave receiver out and hooked it up to my
computer and digipan. Works EXCELLENT. No squeal.
Perhaps I'm getting RF on the MIC IN line when I have it hooked to my
scout, but where is it coming from? The squealing only occurs when
I'm listening, doesn't start until about a minute after I begin the
session.
My antenna is a 16 guage stranded bare wire dipole in my attic fed
with RG8X coax to a Ten Tec antenna tuner. I have coax (RG58 probably)
jumped connecting the radio to the antenna tuner. SWR tunes down to
about 1:1
I never hear this squeal start when just running CW with headphones
plugged in...just when the head phone jack is plugged into the MIC IN
jack of my PC.
Any clues?
