Hi

all is mounted into a small painting box.

Different bands have multiple stubs to null to different bands. 

It is placed about 10-15 ft from the rigs, but I dont have cable between the 
stubs as I have soldered it directly on relays for each band.
I have read people have had it about 1/2 wavelength from station, I donno if 7 
mhz will have 20m of coax from the rig to filter to have it optimal effect?

I have perfect SWR and the attunation is ok about 20-30 db on the excatly 
harmonic QRG from 7.000 to 3,500  20db's
QRG from 7.100 to 14.200 25 db's

I can still hear some white noise..if I fire up to 1kw from the amp... but it 
is still there on 100 watts on both trxs.

2nd option can be the bad RX in the TS2000, but I have tried both the TS930 and 
TS850 with inrad filters and roofing filters installed.


Maybe I need some 7mhz lowpass filters ????

I ordered some ICE 419, but they stopped making this upon my order.
This was the cheapest option, but it crazy to pay 600 $ those expensive packs 
for each station, I wanna have this filters to work, but I cannot measure any 
thing with scope...  

Maybe it is better with monoband yagies ??? 
 I was thinking the multiband antenna maybe generate bad harmonics too ?????
