Forgot to mention that I eliminated the EMI to the Tic-Ring Control Box by
doing the following:
1. Plugged control box into grounded outlet! I had it plugged into a 2 wire
ext. cord --yuk!
2. Installed .1ufd 100V caps from each terminal on control unit to ground.
3. Fixed tower ground - 1 1/2" copper straps from each leg just above bottom
joint to individual ground rods all tied to the "common ground".
4. Installed Polyphaser rotor MOVs just above the ground straps ----
Now -- The LED does not light nor does the position meter deflect (with
control unit power off) on any band running 1500 watts out into the slopers
or beams.
