The LM338 is a linear regulator so it won't be a noise generator if it's stable. Use proper RF bypassing to prevent oscillation, taking care to keep the bypass cap leads leads short. The same bypass

This is California's version of EPA's "Energy Star" program for power adaptors. The goals of both programs are similar: reduce power use by improving both stand-by power use and operating efficiency.

I have seen that, too. It has been quite common in low-end computer power supplies, as documented many tears back by W0UN. The same PC cards will be found in many "no-name" power supplies. The parts

Assuming this device actually works as advertised (a big assumption for illegal equipment!), the potential interference would be worst on bands near the cell phone assignments: 903MHz, 1.2GHz, and 2.

That sounds like a powdered iron core. It's good for high-Q inductors at lower HF frequencies, such as for tuned circuits or transmitter output filters. It's not so effective for common-mode RFI chok

Do you really need the distribution amplifier? The TV antenna and amplifier are both rather broad band, and process your 6M signal along with the VHF TV signals. Interfering with all channels sounds

That's true in part, but there's a catch. Digital broadcasts use an error-correction code so that low levels of interference still allow perfect reception. But if enough bits get scrambled, the error
