Carl,
Good comments. Remember all, the Ten Tec radios benefit by not being right
by the noisy computer cabinet. Same for Monitors, they are the most RF
noisy of the computer components. See if you can put them on a different
level than the Pegasus case. Most monitor RF comes out the CRT FRONT!
For those with a Jupiter, if you have a computer in the shack, have it far
away from the radios. That goes for any make radio. Computers have many
noisy computer clock signals and other hash.
