[Kenwood] TS-850 Buzzing Problem

[k8vf_mark at centurytel.net]

Power the 850 with a battery.

If problem  is still there, pull main power to your house.

If problem is gone, it is in your house. If so, turn off individual circuits 
to isolate.

If not it is outside. The fact that pulling antenna reduces the problem 
would appear to indicate it is not the rig.


If in your house, the noise might be washer, dryer, furnace controls, light 
controls, aquarium heat, hot tub......

Good luck.
