Re: Snap, Crackle, Pop!
I imagine you have tested this with another rig, as I had a similar sound on my 30m QCX when I had a bad connection between feedpoint and doublet dipole. So I imagine you must have eliminated it being

Re: DVM/RF detector header Question
HI Barry.
No. You connect a lead onto the RF pin (middle) and then just touch/probe the other end on the antenna connector centre pin.
