Just a detail... It would be better if you could run your RF into a dummy
load so there'd be no radiation at all that could be getting back into the
rig.  If it were RF getting into the rig, you might see a power level where
it doesn't happen.  Good luck with your troubleshooting.  Please post your
findings on The List.

I am getting bad signal reports on my Corsair II.
Was told of a staccato sound to the transmit audio signal.
I thought of RF or mic problems.
I used another rig to listen to the transmit signals and I could hear what
best could be described as a slight gurgling sound and you could
really  tell
it was taking place on sustained words.
I was getting full output into a good antenna with flat SWR and ALC light
was blinking and no speech process.
Tried a different mic same problem.
Went to my OMNI V and it was clean with good audio.
So, I think we can eliminate mic problems and RF.
I am using the same power supply on both rigs so I guess we can
also  exclude
that as a problem.
Power supply is an Astron RS-35M and is grounded.
Drawing 18 Amps tops at 90 watts on 10 meters so that is in spec.
Although, it could be FM'ing.
Power cable???
Any ideas before I dig in?
Thanks,
Dan N4VET
