[wxsig] Need t238 help

[Mike Barelli w0maf]

Just a heads up on these kinds of problems.  You must be getting standing waves on the tap to the Humidity unit.  You are making a star hookup and these are very flakey. Try changing the length on one of your hookups.  Just might do the trick.
Good luck!

the same problem and can help.  I know there are some tricks to adding
'devices'.  I just don't know them myself.
