That's interesting. I never saw that problem with mine on 40 meters. Could it be a grounding wire resonance or antenna issue that causes RF to get into the radio?

I once had a problem with birdies with the 17 meter module. Moving around some of the harness wires that connect to the band module socket cured it.

I have one that does the same thing. It's not the radio, it's the 40 meter module

I found out by subbing in a different module 40 meter module and lo and behold, the problem went away.

I popped the module open and did a quick look, looking for a loose ground or other problem. never did find one, so when that module is used and during tx, the display rolls...


doesn't seem to effect the quality of the signal, just makes the display wobble

Any suggestions ? and which half of the unit is for xmit (the xtal for both)
