Did a first test on a BOG, I noted it didn't have a f/b ratio.
Then I noted I connected the wrong pair to the radio.
That means the twisted pair is picking up signal.
I terminated it hoping that would quiet it, It didn't.
I corrected the wiring error, But the feed line pickup
makes the BOG useless.
On a previous BOG I used #18 twisted speaker wire and it
picked up very little RF when connected the the radio.
Do I need to do anything with the unused pairs,
that would help?
Any thoughts on how to prevent RF pickup by the feed line?
