Strapped the 736 to the 2002 with no effect.

0.6 ohms

If I turn off the Mirage all is normal. I just can't run the Mirage without
what looks to be feedback overloading the receiver. I can put the
AGC on FAST or OFF and I don't have a receive problem coming back
after doing some CW. But the SSB signal seems to have a 50 watt carrier
with no audio
More testing being done now.
Thanks
