A friend hired a HF radio and found that he could not receive and nobody anywhere (VKS7373 bases included can ever hear him transmit). He found if he disabled his megapulse, he could receive but he still can't transmit. Suspecting a problem with the set, he had it replaced for another, but still had the same problem. I suspect an antenna or cable problem, but had him check with multimeter and all seems OK. He is now at Arkaroola, part way round his trip so limited ability to contact me, but I have advised him via email (which he will pick up some time soon) to put a wire of 8.88 m length directly into the centre conductor of the antenna socket and try that. Also advised him to try battery disconnected from vehicle and HF only connected to battery in case something else is casuing problems like megapulse did.

Any other ideas? Any known issues with HF in 80 series?
