[Amps] pacemaker and hf amplifiers qstions

[Will Matney]

Hector,

Making sure everything is RF tight and all grounds and shields are good 
is the most important thing. A dip meter could be used to find RF leaks 
run as an absorbative wavemeter. This is similar to using a radiation 
detector for microwave ovens, which may be another thing to check in the 
home. I know of one operator who lined an entire room, floor, ceiling, 
and four walls, with 1/4" mesh wire cloth to cancel any RF radiation 
from the radio room. Good quality coax with 95-98% shield is a good idea 
too, along with good direct grounds to the equipment.

Best & 73's
