[Kenwood] TS-570D(G) Problem

[Ron Evans]

Thanks to all who wrote and shared their expertise.  It does appear at 
this point that the problem was RF in the shack.  I've never had that 
problem before with this exact same setup (antenna, ground, the whole 9 
yards...) so I didn't think in that direction.

Paul Manuel suggested, among other good ideas, to "wind the DC power 
cord together to reduce its surface pickup area."  I did that, as well 
as putting the power supply in a completely different place (on the 
floor for the moment!) and the problem seems to have gone away.

I'm going to reserve final judgment for awhile because the setup was 
working last night also...for the first QSO...and then...lights out!

Special thanks to Paul Manuel, Bob Bacharach, Mark Skowronski, Eric 
Lowell, and Dr. Gerald N. Johnson for providing invaluable assistance.
You guys are great!

73,

Ron - K5MVR
