[RFI] RFI into house from FT-2K

[Michael Germino]

Aaaw..., the magic of HF. 
   
  I would start with the interconnecting coax and cables.  I once took apart my station to dust it and when I put it back together I had RF on my audio.  Could be as simple as two cables running parallel instead of at right angles. (my problem)
   
  You may have broken a shield at a PL-259.
   
  Are you using expensive shielded cables between your Amp and radio?  Once when I changed radios I had to upgrade my cables to the Amp.
   
  If the ground system is new, I would try disconnecting it.  A ground wire to a ground rod may not be a RF ground,  Might be another antenna

  Hello all-- I am a new subscriber to this reflector and have a problem 
--ie.I recently replaced my FT-1000 MP with a new FT-2000. I changed 
nothing--cables,ground system etc.but the new radio gets into the TV, 
security system,computer speakers etc..I have high / low pass filters in 
the proper places,toroids/chokes,wherever I can put them. Put in a new 
8' ground rod etc.The only variable in the system, is the new 
radio.Also, we tested all (4)of my antennas,on all bands ,at three power 
levels( Quadra amp) into a dummy load--No, RFI into the above mentioned 
devices!!So, what is the FT-2K doing that the FT-2K MP didn't???Help !!
Thank you for your attention to my problem.
