I have Copper tuned S9, Texas Star DX500, and a 5'Wilson Silver Load 5/8 wave antenna. I adjusted ch.1 to 1.1 ch.19 to 1.3 and ch.40 is 1.6 I know the swr on 1 and 19 is OK with the amp, what about the 1.6 on 40?
I have Astatic 636L Wood Grain microphone. I have everything grounded. When I have the amp on and key the MIC, I start getting burned by the metal stress relief spring on the mic. Any ideas on this, besides grounds ?
UPDATE UPDATE
I am also getting burned by the knobs on the radio. I keep thinking grounds, but I have everything grounded. I ck'd these grounds with my meter also. HELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP Please.
Thank You,

OK every time i click 'post message' AOL sends me bye-bye...
if ANY of my other posts don't show-'MIC BITE'-is a POOR RF GROUND, as opposed to DC ground. though DC ground, jumper length, antenna mount & a host of other quirks could cause that annoying problem. try eliminating extra grounds, changing jumper lengths, remove wattmeter from line if you're sure SWR's are good, etc etc til problem goes away...
now, be good AOL... |

It doesn't feel good either. I did manage to talk to a guy in L.A. Calif before the freq knob got me. It burns good. Kinda like when you get burned by the MRI machine. Sinker where are in Florida, I'm in Clearwater.

Repaired and better grounding took care of the frying of the fingers.
