[TenTec] RF problems in the shack using Argo V

[Dave Perrin]

Hi-
     I have a friend who had run an OMNI C for years into a variety of 
folded dipoles in his attic with no problems. He uses either an LDG 
tuner or a TT 100 Watt tuner.
    Recently he has upgraded to an Argonaut V and since  has had lots of 
RF problems in the shack as well as not being able to tune the 
antennas...depending sometimes on rain.
    We have checked the station ground and shortened it. All the 
equipment goes to a single ground. We have  checked all the coax for 
opens and Hi Resistance to ground.
    The coax cable interconnections are not "new" lengths of coax, but 
have never seen the weather.
    I have never used an "artificial ground" device, is this a good 
candidate?
    Any ideas?
