Thank you for your answer Bruce.
You are right : narrowing bandpass filter have solved the problem I
encountered. I don't know what were this QRM, I saw some dashes every kHz on
PRO's scope. I live in the center of Paris and there is a lot of QRM...
In the other hand, I tried to run a drilling tool near the K2 and I can
confirm that KNB2 is really effective !
