[RFI] HF Problems

[pwjmrj at quixnet.net]

I have a couple of problems that I hope you can help me with.  I wrote to
ICOM to no avail.

 

1.	I have an ICOM IC-738 HF Radio, connected to an ICOM IC-PW1 Linear.
When running barefoot, I have no problem with the receive volume on the
exciter.   However, the minute I turn on the linear, the receive volume on
the exciter drops 80% or more.  
2.	I have an ICOM IC-738 HF Radio, connected to an ICOM IC-PW1 Linear.
When running barefoot, I do not cause IF interference in our home.  However,
the minute I turn on the linear, my signal bleeds into the phones, radios
and TVs.  I have installed a quality low pass filter as well as chokes on
every electronic item.  Much to my dismay, these steps haven't eliminated
the problem.

 

Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
