(+ 1m of soft RG-58 pitgail from the radio to the RG-213)\n\nThe Jpole is 5 meters away and about 2 meters above my head.\n\nNo matter if I use 1 or 5 Watts, once I press PTT the baofeng goes deaf \nand only noise is heard with my scrambled voice on it (this voice is not \nfrom the sat)\n\nThis can be the 3rd harmonic of 2m, but it's normal to get this behavior \nwith the baofeng or other radios?\n\nWhat can I do for improve/solve this situation?\n\nA low pass filter (LPF) for 2m right on the output of the TX radio?\n\nThe Baofeng is the only option here for RX on 70cm... this is driving me \ncrazy...\n\n73\n\nEl 16/03/15 a las 20:37, Richard Tejera escribió:\n> Pavel,\n>\n> Here is a link to a program as m called MOXGEN.
