Hi Mike,
Rotor cable and coaxial from antennas came together under ground from tower
to shack. I will add some split beads before it is connected to the rotor
control box.

Asunto: Re: [TowerTalk] RF in rotor control ?
I would guess the problem is not coming from the rotor control box, but from
the cable (Or power cable) coming out of the box acting as a antenna.
Try separating the rotor cable from the other cables of your station or try
some split beads on the Rotor cables.
If it was me I would just leave the ground wire off the MFJ.
