Before it gets cold again I will likely be replacing my old gas furnace. I am looking at the high efficiency models, probably one with just a two speed blower rather than a variable speed one. Any RF
I recently acquired a 2007 Honda Fit. It has several problems with RFI, one of which I find particularly puzzling. There is a broadband noise, spaced every 20 KHz. It can be heard from 40 though 2 me
HINT: when you call the works department, do NOT tell them that you're a Ham plagued with noise! You'll end up on the proverbial back burner. Instead, tell them that your XYL enjoys walking the dog a
But if some of us purchase hybrids to promote the technology, which should improve. Otherwise they're going to generate RFI, which I think is the point of this list? I expect far less RFI from CFLs t
Are the alarms indeed false? Have you tried a second detector, preferably not a Kidde Nighthawk? It sounds like you have a detector. Can it be moved/traded with your neighbor on a trial basis? 73 - J
What explosive gasses does that Kidde thing detect? Low levels of methane? Flatulent emissions? Perhaps you need to supply your neighbor with some Beano. 73 - Jim K8MR In a message dated 11/14/2007 7
Last August I bought a new 2007 Honda Fit. While the ignition noise seemed reasonable, especially after adding a few easily done exhaust pipe grounds, there remained a mysterious broadband noise noti
A few more details, omitted for brevity in my first post: While the noise is present everywhere, it is not truly broadband. Listening at HF with the IC-746, it is a series of broadband signals spaced
My XYL would not part with the washer after using it the first time. Her happiness trumps mine. == Is she happy because she has found a sure fire way to get you off the 73 - Jim K8MR **Planning your
Is there not an FCC Part 15 issue at work with the device? 73 -- Jim K8MR In a message dated 4/20/2008 3:34:52 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, jvpoll@dallas.net writes: Wow ... and how timely. I believe
It sounds like basic RF overload of that preamp. Does the interference arise when transmitting on other bands? Are antennas for other bands as close to the TV antenna/preamp? First I'd try some ferri
So the preamp is inside the house? My question is whether the RF is getting into the preamp by common mode (outside of the coax) or differential mode (picked up by the antenna and sent down the insid
RF interference picked up at the receiver front end will result in pixelation, freezes, or the blue screen of death. I don't have a good feel yet as to just how sensitive sets will be to RFI of this
My 1996 Ford Windstar mobile contest machine finally died a while back, so I'm in the market for another minivan to take it's place. My budget puts things in the range of something used from the 2001
In all this it may be good to consider how cable TV got started. CATV - that's not CAble TV, but Community Antennna TV - started in places where residents couldn't get TV off the air because they wer
Two things to consider: 1. After the digital transition next week, there will be very few stations left on channels 2-6. If there are none on these channels in your area, you can get by with a smalle
One other thing to watch with preamps: even though the TV stations may be distant, close by FM stations can overload the preamp and cause problems. This may be especially true for certain high band V
Of course YMMV and all that stuff, but my 2007 Honda Fit suffers from serious RFI from the Electric Power Steering. I shows as being quiet until the steering wheel moves, when appears a broadband noi
It's great that you were able to get the power company out that quick. I'm jealous. If things don't get resolved, get the radio station involved. They have an interest in people being able to hear th
My experience is that line noise does not drop off quickly at the lower frequencies. I wonder if you are just hitting some resonant hot spot where the HF noise peaks because of the RFradiating proper
