[Icom] AM Broadcast interference in a PROII

Mon, 7 Jul 2003 18:36:33 -0400

John,
   I live about 1500 ft from a 1000 ft AM tower.   I have the original
Pro, not the 2.   Use a 1/4 vert on 160, 4 square on 80m, 2 el yagi's on
30 & 40, and a TH11 on 10-20.    No problem whatsoever on any band.
   One note, be sure you're not on PreAmp2 on 15 thru 160 meters, it is
only designed for 6/10/12 meters.   It will cause problems if you try
using it on lower bands.   I have seen that problem.   The Icom manual
covers this.
