I've checked my 2 MP's here and have not found anything unusual on 160M. A
60+
over carrier from one creates only a couple small images which dont move
the
S meter on the other, besides the usual synthesizer hash withing about 5
kcs of
the carrier.

My

never did

installed

this winter).
> I feed the dipole through a tuner (usually) and it is MUCH quieter than
the sloper.

> IF I switch the tuner to bypass, the "spurious" noise goes up quite
noticeably and

meter!

with the

sloper

experimenting.

> Have the recently upgraded radios had this problem fixed?
