I haven't yet no, but I don't get near the same thing on my FT-950 I think it's just the nature of the RCIs...i've got it on the 2995, i've passed on the 2985 the new owner get's it at his qth as well as on his 2950. The radios just seem to be magnets for white noise lol. And still running a...

It is for now ya...thinking once i get around to finishing the basement i'll make the shack down there, easier for running wires inside than drilling thru the brickwork :) Well, easier to return to original anyway lol

thanx for the feedback guys....shyt every other antenna i've used has never shown a short so for this to be the norm for this style of antenna is straight up weird :blink: Thanx again guys!!!
