Never did get the long story. I added the cap, but I had multiple gremlins that all added to my problems. The CAS wire was the last part changed as I worked through them 1 by 1. Each made it better so I would say all of them contributed to a better system.

Just seems RF is a bit of a black art. Fix 1 problem area then it finds another way in.

Thanks Andrew.

So Tracy never explained the “long story”?
Did you add the caps and did they help or not?
I’m thinking not, as you mentioned changing to a better shield to the CAS
