You don't say if you do it, but lots of us talk (or used to talk) across the front of the microphone -- at a right angle to it instead of directly into the microphone. If you have not tried that, you
I'd use contact cleaner on the little slide switch on the rear panel. It may be marked REC-XCV or something like that but it is to enable your use of a second receive antenna. If that didn't work, I'

Surely the 160 meter converter for the Tritons could be pressed into service for the 60 meter band. Some folks use it for 30 meters. All that is needed is to subtract 100 from it. Mike N4NT Icom, app
If you do not have the negative output post grounded directly to the cabinet of the Astron, then all sorts of spikes can hit the regulator and damage it. Mike N4NT

The Triton IV is not noticably better than the Omni-C. To my ears it is a tad quieter, but that may be because when the mode switch is in the CW positions, an audio filter is switched in. Either the
I always thought twisting the feedline was to cancel radiation from the transmission line. A poem appeared in QST in the late 50's. It went: Feedline going up the wall, Please don't radiate at all; F
