[2m] 2 meters and cable channel 18

However, make sure your own house is clean first. It seldom happens but
technically, ALL cable ports should be terminated. If you have extra open
ports, make sure they are all terminated with 75 ohm terminators. RS used to
have them but don't know if they still do. You might also want to put a
ferrite or two on the cable. I use a cable modem and had to put a ferrite at
the feed to it as RF was getting into the system there.

And Wayne, there is nothing wrong with the way this reflector is set up. You
simply need to do a 'reply all' and you will get the originator and the list
as recipients. Keep or delete the appropriate one and you are in business.
