During the annual last week, the problem was tracked to the antenna, which turns out to be what the Lancair appendix recommended as to the Loran C antenna and its location. We ran a new coax to the antenna but the problem remains the same. Connecting the #2 VHF to a temporary antenna for test purposes demonstrated a 5x5 in Tx/Rx. So wondered if re-grounding the antenna in situ might help fix the problem, and looking for LML advice as to suggestions, with drawings/picturesetc. Thanks Dom Crain VH-CZJ ------=_NextPart_000_0001_01C8C687.3600B600--
