[TowerTalk] RF in rotor control ?

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hi Mike,

Rotor cable and coaxial from antennas came together under ground from tower
to shack. I will add some split beads before it is connected to the rotor
control box.

I would guess the problem is not coming from the rotor control box, but from
the cable (Or power cable) coming out of the box acting as a antenna.

Try separating the rotor cable from the other cables of your station or try
some split beads on the Rotor cables.

If it was me I would just leave the ground wire off the MFJ.
