Did a first test on a BOG, I noted it didn't have a f/b ratio. Then I noted I connected the wrong pair to the radio. That means the twisted pair is picking up signal. I terminated it hoping that would quiet it, It didn't. I corrected the wiring error, But the feed line pickup makes the BOG useless. On a previous BOG I used #18 twisted speaker wire and it picked up very little RF when connected the the radio. Do I need to do anything with the unused pairs, that would help? Any thoughts on how to prevent RF pickup by the feed line? Mikek KF4ITA _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector |
