I have grounded everything I can think of and put a tvi filter inline right after the radio and I STILL come over the TV etc. What gives? Is it just because my radio puts out too much power? I have a Ranger 2995.

By the way, when I use the Antron 99 out on my garage 100 feet away it's fine. It's when I use my beam right above my house.

Sounds like you have a RF monster on the loose. I can't answer your question, but I was thinking maybe a balun coil might cure it?? I'm sure I just opened a can of worms here, and I'll let the real tech's handle it now....

Also are you running your TV through a VCR?
If so, shut VCR off and run through only TV and try it.

put a balun/line isolator where coax connects to yor antenna. I have not been following this thread that close so I might be in left field.
