I noticed my 40m noise floor had increased slightly, and since it was a nice day, I went out with my loop and noise receiver to see if I could find it. I had it located in about five minutes, when th

Hi Dave, The filter is my design but I understand that a very similar filter is in the process of being available commercially. I'll keep the group informed as I find out more details. 73, Tom W0IVJ

Hi Don, Here is an example of a grow light ballast without and with a filter. The dead time in between is normal band noise. http://tomthompson.com/radio/GrowLight/Grow%20Light%20Ballast%20Filter%20O

Dave, That is sad that they won't produce the receiver anymore. On the good side...the active antenna coupled with a Softrock of some variety will make a good combination. Tom W0IVJ I would have love

Hi Dave, All of the electronic ballasts that I have tested have been very bad from an RFI perspective. That includes the Lumatek LK1000, the Quantum 1000 and the Micromole 1000. All of these ballasts

Right...the magnetic ballasts run hotter than the digital ballasts because they are not as efficient. The magnetic ballasts are also quieter, but that is acoustically, NOT from an RFI perspective. To

Hi Greg, I suggest you build a fixture with a bulb socket on one end and an AC plug on the other end so you can light the bulb. Before you put the AC plug on the cord, wrap a toroid (eg FT117-43) ful

I just made some light bulb measurements using an RF current probe, an oscilloscope, and a spectrum analyzer. My current probe is flat within 3 dB from 500 kHz to over 50 MHz. The common mode current

Also, my current probe sensitivity is 30 dB less that the actual power. That is to say if I put 0dBm into a 50 ohm resistor and sample one lead of the circuit, my current probe will show - 30 dBm. So

Hi Ed, They had several more lights of the same type that were not producing RFI, so I think it was just a case of a ballast going bad. Tom Do you have the model number of the offending device? I'd l

Both of these lights showed a little difficulty starting, but once lit, they looked normal. It really is insidious isn't it? Tom w0IVJ I've seen exactly that, Tom. It was a CFL that I had in a table
