[Amps] warbleing gi-7

[Sam Carpenter]

Agreed, I think he should look at the shielding on the audio inputs or any
other input on his xcvr and also the station earth ground. It will need to
be low impedance with short as possible run of silver braid, copper
strapping,#6 stranded or #2 stranded if longer than 10' or the like. Also
will want a good 8' ground rod. He should have a transmission line ground
kit at the entrance to the shack going to a common ground. Stray RF will do
all kinds of funny audio things and burn you sometimes too.

It may be r.f. getting back into his exciter from the fact that more power
is now being used.

Carey , 

If this amp is large enough to pull down the AC mains , this could effect
the exciter . 

This would depend on things like the operator using AC power strips and so
one . 

Just a thought
