[TenTec] Corsaair II Problem Question???

[Ed - K9EW]

Just a detail... It would be better if you could run your RF into a dummy
load so there'd be no radiation at all that could be getting back into the
rig.  If it were RF getting into the rig, you might see a power level where
it doesn't happen.  Good luck with your troubleshooting.  Please post your
findings on The List.
