Dell laptop. Rig would not key cleanly from computer at full power. Lowering
power half-way or so and keying ok. Had both 40m and 15 m antennas on Yaesu
FT-920 and didn't make any difference removing one or the other. Also shielded
the parallel port keying line and that didn't make any difference. Removed ac
power source and ran on batteries. Still same problem. Using serial to serial
ports on computer and rig. Keying would be "mushy." Some of the characters
would slur or jumble while rig at full power (100 wts)
P.S. Had to key entire Field Day using rig and my paddle. Interesting
experience, especially after 24 hours!!
Is rf getting into the laptop directly?
Any clues?
