turn down the power ;-)

try grounding the shield of the feed line to your shack ground , balun=good

"I thought by reading on this forum for years about grounding that it is thI will try the sugestions on here like the beads on the cords and all and check asll channels but I still want enlightened on the ground causing the problem or at least making it worse. There is got to be a reason for...

you still have a problem and as along as you are delving into it, why not solve it completely what channels does your wife normally watch ? and how far are you from these stations transmitters? a home brew folded dipole made out of twin lead might do a lot better than rabbit ears for vhf...

baluns=good radio shack crap =bad cheap taiwanese tv's =bad

"I'm going to throw a long shot out here. This happened to me when I grounded my equipment . When I took off the grounds it went away . But that wouldn't have anything to do with the HT . " thats what led me to think it was a mains issue but im starting to lean towards a crappy rad shack...

rfi and feo problems can be pesky , do you have a dvd player , or a vcr? try putting the tv on a dvd, or closed circuit signal , and see what happens ?

BTW, this is off topic slightly but the comment earlier about standing waves causing RFI isn't correct. High SWR does not cause RFI. Yeah , my bad , butif its poor coax , or bad connections couldnt it contribute ?

I'm starting to wonder about the rabbit ears , could be a harmonic issue, with 10mtrs cables too long to the tv , poor connections but again the issue with rfi on a vhf ht on a rubber duck does really start to point to FEO and i wonder ??????? but let's see what happens when the tube is...

one more question ? what kind of signal does the tv rely on ? cable, sattellite , terrestrial broadcast ????

as good as any ,

thats it , ill check back later 73

try the extension cord , and tell me if it helps , if it does , i'll explain ,;-)

in summary , i dont think its your antenna !!!!!

ok, so now your getting into the tv regardless of what radio ? and all of these are in the shack ? so the only time your getting into the tv is from the radio room ? i think the tv may be on the same electrical circuit as your radios you may have a bad ground or switched hot-neutral i'm...

that is true !

I remember what my elmer told me when i first started "learn to fix your own , or it will be an expensive hobby" if i tried to recall what i spent on amateur radio this year it would pale in comparison to what i spent on guitars, effects and the two marshall stacks i purchased , gotta...

im confused :confused: is it happening with both radios now ? if so , id be looking at your installation , bad connector on coax, something shorted on the antenna ? etc, looking up a maco 5/8 i see its rated for 26-33mhz if your trying to run this on vhf frequencies you will most certainly...

i did some more poking around and found a schemo for the ftdx505 it matches perfectly !!!!! shows the agc circuit exactly as its laid out on the board , and the rest of the diiagrams , seem to match the radio perfectly only difference is higher voltage to the final stage and the final...

there are differences in the agc circuit , im looking right at em ! thats what i was told too , but this schematic for the 560 doesnt match up doesnt look modded either Thanks anyway
