I have only seen something close to this level of interference on 2m and that has been from some cheap LiFePo4 charger I got that was charging my 100Ah battery. But it was about 25% bars and it was about 30ft from my 2m antenna. It does happen a lot with chargers for various batteries like shop tool chargers etc.
Sounds like a job for a 2m Yagi and am attenuator. I've got the Yagi but not the attenuator. 73, Kori Rahman, WX5KR *Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club* *Vice-President and Club Call Sign KK5W Trustee* Cell: (770) 298 8516 [email protected] On Sun, Jan 14, 2024 at 7:30 PM Amal C.
