[TenTec] Heil ProSet adapter with Orion -- hum?

[Duane A Calvin]

Lee - 
        Mine is only about 8 weeks old, so I'm assuming it has the ground
connection made at the connector.  I'm looking more at whether modifying
the Heil adapter will solve the problem.  I'll probably go ahead and pull
the connector apart, make the change and see what happens.  I don't think
it's an RFI problem - it is very repeatable regardless of power, antenna
or even dummy load use.  

        73, Duane
