I went to the Raleigh Amateur Radio Festival today and some equipment followed me home in the form of a Yaesu FT-1802 transceiver, Jetstream switching power supply and a 1/2 wave 2 meter/70 cm antenna on a magnetic mount. All of the equipment is residing in my bonus room at the moment. Pictures will be coming shortly.
I've got to double check all my connections - keying the microphone turns my television off and on (not to mentioning doing horrible things to the picture) and I've now got a headache. I moved the antenna further away. Let's see if that helps at all.

Congrats!
Make sure the antenna has a decent sized metal ground plane if you're using it indoors. It won't work very well at all if you don't.
So, you went for just a 2 meter radio instead of a dual band one? Is the radio new?
I'd love to see it at some point.
