Mike,
Why don't you try a current balun. Take about 10 feet of coax where the
coax comes into the shack and coil it so it is 7 turns and see if there is
RF coming down the feed line. I never had any trouble with my OmniD, Series
B. My grandson has it now.
73,
John

Well what is puzzling is that it only does it on 40 and 80 meters ssb,
20,15,10 meters works fine...BUT when hooked up into a dummy
load(Cantenna),Radio works fine too.I run other radios on my 40 and 80
meter antenna and they also work fine.Just the Omni-d has a issue with
my 40 and 80 meter antenna...
