Thanks for the report! I feared that. I have now dismissed the idea of a laptop/notebook and have moved on to a mini-PC. I can provide the 12V and 5V power sources without the use of SMPS. I am hopi
I was advised to do whatever I have to to keep our vintage MayTag washer and dryer running. Not only for RFI-avoidance but also for quality. -- Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e http://bibleseven.com Florida H
This is wonderful news and a valuable precedent! Do you have a link to the ruling? I would be interested to learn how the complaint was filed and if the FCC intends to provide an efficient means for

I wonder if the framed screen from a large sliding glass door, using a ground strap, might work for the purposes of your testing? -- Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E ... somewhere in FL URL: bibleseven (dot)
I wonder what sort of clamp-on ferrite might be applied to tame gas-line QRM? :-) I *hate* gas so have no idea as to the size of the pipes in the neighborhoods. They are burying the Lousiana-Florida

We had this house wired for security and intercom and I am sorry that we did. They coupled together in the walls and raise all sorts of RFI racket -- of course the Intercom and Alarm companies point
