NetHeads, I talked to several electrical engineers at work (one of which is also a big ham radio guy) about the wierd tone that I was getting when I keyed my radio mic. All of them frowned when they found out I didn't use shielded cable on all the lines that the schematic calls for (headphones, m

The other day I wrote that I'd fixed my radio noise problem with shielding, and all I needed to do now was "tidy up the installation". That took all day Saturday, and the last wire I hooked up (VOX enable) got my noise back again! Now I was starting to think bad radio, since I'd completely rewire
