Hi,

In article ,
says...

Sounds like a ground loop. If you are using the Antenna Interface,
make all connections that give you this interference. Now, disconnect
the power lead to the Antenna Interface. If the noise goes away, you
have a ground loop that is associated with where your power to this
unit comes from, and what you are using as the ground for your
IC-R75.


I remember trying that before, and it did stop the noise indeed.
But... If it's a ground loop, wouldn't it be there all the time?
I'm asking because I came home tonight, connected the antenna, and...now
noise, no buzz! That too happened before, but the noise was back less
than half a day later.
So, could this still be a ground loop? And if so, how do I go about
getting rid of it? Is it an easy thing to do for someone non-technical
like me?

I am not using any ground for my R75 at the moment. With my previous
antenna setup, a longwire with MLB, I had a ground rod. And it did
absolutely nothing, it didn't make any difference at all...

Thanks for the help!
