[TenTec] Trading Radio's

[Robert]

First I was not in Dayton.   Second, the pin 1 problem doesn't exist. 

For starters,  as to RFI issues, yes antenna to radio spacing, increasing same, will usually improve the issue.  Be sure all equipment is each bonded to a common point such as the PS ground.   Omit the external ground but keep 3rd pin ground intact.   Use a common mode choke on the output of the radio.

This sort of agrees with my asking TT tech support if they thought that the Omni VII would cure my RF problem. Their answer was "move the antenna".
