Thanks
Hi Richard, I test GFI's all the time with a tester and find a lot will fail because they are to sensitive and they you will get a lot of nuisance trips so might want to try a new one plus it is good to have one on hand. I had a RF feed back in my coax and tried some clamp on ferrites but found by coiling about 10 feet of coax worked better and got rid of all my feed back. It can be a pain dealing with RF in suck close quarters, my plan is to get the antenna farther form the trailer by using a tripod and push up mast. Good luck on finding a cure and keep us posted.
