So, I'm rocking an old Drake TR7 ham transceiver on 11m CB for now till I get my license. It works great....except every time I transmit, I am rebooting my Direct TV box.... It does this on 10M too. It totally F's up the box to the point where it reboots and needs to reformat itself, and it reboots again to reinstall software every time I key off the mic. The Directv box is a model H25-100.
Any ideas? I tried wrapping 3 sides of the box with aluminum foil and grounding the foil, but I need to keep the front uncovered for the remote to work..... No change after I tried this.
I have tried a ferrite choke thing on the power wire, and coax and a/v cables too. No change.
I also have the radio and power supply chassis grounded to my main water pipe with a factory lug on the back of them.
Any ideas?
