Thanks for the RY report. It's amazing how that signal gets out. The bottom
of the vertical dipole is about 3 feet off the ground.

I have a 746PRO, and also have a spur at 136 kHz. I have only verified that
it is not caused by the power supply, as it is present with the radio
running from a battery. Haven't done any further detective work, though.
