         Joe, I'd suggest you shorten the TXD until it no longer gets into 
your local digi, then incrementally increase the TXD until you find the 
spot that works for your particular setup.  Each amp is different, and each 
transceiver is different, and each digi (and other station) is also 
different.  Most of the time, you have to "custom-fit" your station to 
local conditions.
