Make sure the ground screw on the rear is very tight. The DC negative from the 4 pin power connector on the rear gets its connection to chassis and system ground under this screw on the inside.

I doubt that any shielding of the logic board will be of any value. Likely something is loose on the inside, cable not secerely plugged in or one just might need to clean and excercise connectors. Or the DC power switching relay on the power distribution board might be defective causing excessive voltage drop under load.

If it happens on a dummy load, I doubt that any grounding would improve things.

I have a run of LMR 400 out to the hex beam over 140 feet away. PWRs supply is 32 amp switching but it does same on TT supply as well...cw key down or ssb voice peaks...same effect. I will play around with some grounding ideas and see what happens. May have to build a shield for the logic board...if memory serves me it had similar issues into a dummy load but will verify...

Thanks
Scott
