Several days ago I acquired a beautiful Omni 6+ (564), and love the
radio One glitch that I notice is that occasionally the speed of the
keyer will vary slightly (speedup by maybe 1-2 wpm). Since the effect
seemed to be more prevalent when running my linear amplifier vs barefoot
I suspected rfi getting back into the keyer. I then wrapped 7 turns of
the cable from my paddle through a type 31 split core ferrite, right
where the cable is connected to the radio. Although the keyer
instability now occurs less frequently, it still does occur. It's not a
show stopper, but is annoying.
Any comments/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
