[TowerTalk] RF in rotor control ?

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

 Thanks Perry and David,

I did a few more tests and seems the problem is when i use the MFJ-434 Voice
Keyer.

In CW no problem. And when I connect the Heil Pro Set direct to the radio
also no problem.

When using the MFJ-434, the radio is activated the first 5-7 degrees of
rotation, stop TX and return to TX in the last 5-7 of rotation.

Maybe something about ground in the MFJ-434, but it is connected to ground,
also the rotor control from one of the screws.

73,
Jorge
CX6VM/CW5W

Do you hear hum or some other noise from the rotor in the mic audio?  I
would guess some kind of grounding problem in the rotor, maybe putting AC on
the mic or keyer line.
