About 8 years ago when I was driving truck I ran a high output radio and linerer. It was mounted up top just under my cab lights. Everytime I keyed up (all lights were turned off) the cab lights would give off a low to med glow. Sounds like you might be getting the same effect. Try relocating some things and see what happens.

Just get a handfull of these things and slap them over any wires that you are getting trouble with stray rf and you will not have any more trouble.

Dave didn't you ever use those things they are great! Slap them on and away goes the rf. I was doing 432 mhz moonbounce and running 6 meters into stacked yagis at the same time running a kilowatt on both bands. I have them on everything , they really work and during contests I would dish them out at the door to the neighbors like it was trick or treat. The guy 2 houses down has a TV antenna up too, I made him a little coax jumper with coax wrapped around one of the big round ones and a radio shack filter on the end, he never complained again. That guy with the disconnecting sway bar all he needs to do is wrap the wire around one of those snap together ones right before it hooks to the disconnector motor and it will stop.....

I bled everythnig in the house...even stuff that wasn't on, with bandpass filters on every band. The doorbell would ring, phones, garage door would open, computers would start typing by themselves. I put those things on everything. If you got seperate speakers from the tv, put them on the speaker cable right before they plug into them, wrap em around as much as you can they really work!!! I was cranking out so much rf on 432 it killed the trees next to the tower!!! Another ham told me I was screwing up his tv, when I turned the array towards his house...he lived 10 miles away haha! Those things took EVERY bit of it away.....
