Good morning Gent's.

Thank you everyone for the help this past weekend getting me back on the
birds. One step at a time. Eggbeater's are in process, and with any luck,
that will do the trick for now.

I come to you guys with a little bit of an unexplained situation I am
having with my TS-2000. For whatever reason, it seems to be showing full
scale RF input, but it doesn't seem to hear anything.

The current antenna is a Comet GP-15 Tri-band vertical on my roof. It's
common coax is connected to the common port of a Comet CFX-514 Tri-plexer.
I had this triplexer on a VNA at work for giggles, and I found it to have
about 50dB of isolation between the port's. Does this seem like I am
overloading the front end of the 2m side with the 70cm transmit through the
triplexer?
