The Talking House version 5 works ok, but the RF problem is an issue. To eliminate most of it, I switched it to external antenna. Then I ran the 75 ohm coax to a iso-tap Tee I made. The transmitter is terminated into a 75 ohm load. The iso-Tee tap is my signal source which I connect enough wire to provide enough signal for in my house. I also cut the ground pin off the power cube.
There is RF on the power leads. I verified this when I inserted an X10 remote controlled appliance switch in line with the power cube. The remote would turn it on, but the RF would not let you turn it off.
I also use a parametric Equalizer between the source and the transmitter input which helps adjust the audio the way I like it.
It will never be an SSTRAN. If I was to come across a nice tube transmitter to build, I’d give it a try.
