Hello again,

Thanks to all who made suggestions to remedy the generator leakage
problem. It looks like the leak is plugged!

Here is the tale....

I made a sniffer out of some double-shielded coax and a miniature antenna
at the end. Then I tested the generator at 440 MHz where the problem was
the worst, using a very sensitive 2-way radio as the detector.........
