Hi, all.

I want to thank everyone who has responded to my question about RF grounding 
in my new home QTH here in Colorado.  Please keep those thoughts coming.

On a related note, has anyone experienced what I am experienceing with my 
TW1 talking watt meter?  Specifically, I find that when I take SWR and power 
readings using 100 watts with my TS480, the volume control becomes quite 
flaky, especially at lower levels.  I don't have this problem when no real 
power is applied to the meter.  This leads me to think that I may be getting 
some RF coming back into the watt meter when I use 100 watts.

Thanks for any thoughts or observations you can give here too.
