<blockquote TYPE=CITE>My (ham) neighbors and I have been working with our

<br>a huge increase in Line Noise this past week, which gave me time to
listen more
<br>closely to my Omni. I have a 6+ with the INRAD 400 Hz filters
in the N-1 and
<br>'500' positions, respectively. I'm running it off of a 961 power supply
~ 12" to
<br>the side of the radio, with a computer monitor on a shelf above it.
The
<br>antennas are a Force 12 C3-SS off of a roof tower and a wire that goes
across
<br>the lot (the shack is in the basement).
<p>I am wondering if it's working right...I appear not to be hearing lots
of
<br>signals my neighbor (with a wire and TS-850) is hearing, and too, I'm
hearing
<br>all sorts of birdies that sound like beating oscillators, along with
what I can
<br>only describe as images of other signals (mostly SSB) that seem like
<br>intermod-type overloading. There are the typical monitor spurs,
but I still
<br>hear the other stuff when I've turned the monitor and computer off.
<p>My question, admittedly rather naive, is this ...how do I test the rig
to make
<br>sure it's hearing correctly?
<p>Any help is appreciated!
<p>Thanks + 73,

<p><br>I have the same rig and took my unit to a neighbor and found that
the Omni 6 had a broken ground shield on the RF board and this caused the
same problem that you seam to have. Check all boards for good grounding
and check that the aux. ant switching diodes are good you may be
getting pickup from it.
