UV5RM and 2M over load

Radio: UV5RM

Power: High

Ant: Signal Stick

DR:. Full sized version

Program: Winlink FM

OS: W10

Connected everything together. WL FM works well on .70M.

However, on 2M I have issues. Once the rig keys up, I get a warning from W10 that it doesn’t recognize the USB device. I think RF is coming down the USB cable.

I am thinking about getting the USB cable with the chokes. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Happy New Year?

Happy New Year.

You are experiencing RFI. Consider adding a counterpoise to your radio’s antenna system and/or increasing RF choking of the accessory cable.

I experienced something similiar with my iPhone, not that it’s at all similar to your W10 PC. However I would like to suggest that you check that your audio isn’t turned up too high. On my iPhone having the volume up too high seemed to drop the digirig control of PTT with Receive working just fine.

Thanks. I will get some chokes. And counterpoise.
