Welcome to the official Charlie Tango DX Group CB And Amateur Radio Forum. You are visiting the UK's biggest and most active CB Radio club.. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Charlie Tango DX is a group dedicated to Hobby Radio Users in all forms, whether CB, Amateur, PMR446, Scanning and Short Wave Listening.
We are a very active and friendly group that welcomes anyone from anywhere in the world who has an interest in Radio, regardless of their level of experience, their equipment, their location, or their radio preference. We have members varying from fully qualified operators on the Amateur Bands, to newcomers who have just bought a PMR446 set, and many CBers both old and new. All are equal on the Site.

The CT Site contains many reviews, tips and modifications within the forums, and we take pride that no sensible question is ever left unanswered, and nobody is ever belittled or mocked for asking an honest question, no matter how simple it may seem. We were all new to the hobby once.

If you've a nice wooden desk with all your radio kit on, stick a nice thick mouse mat under the PSU, amp or any other kit with a transformer in - it'll stop nearly all of the mains hum being transferred to the desk.

Cheers

It just took you a while to find a Mousemat did it Lee? Thirty-six weeks from Gary posting the tip to you trying it :) That's wonderful.

LOL No....I just forget to reply back then. I always have my PSU on a layer of bubble wrap and mouse mat on the lower shelf of my desk.

Laptop cooling mats are also good, they draw heat from all radio equipment including linears, radios, PSUs...try it! ;)
