Hi Dan,
I ran into the same problem in a different way with a Nomad J3. The
writing was heard when the gain on the Nomad was turned up. Those more tech=
minded than myself could probably explain, although I am pretty sure
that better
sheilding inside these units would help. I can't figure out why less gain o=
n
your MD brought this out though, unless you applied more gain than is
onboard your unit in post.
Best,
Mark
