Hello inteference investigators, I have new RFI issue that started about a week ago. I have eliminated the house /  items as a source. Killed all breakers, ran the XCRV from batt. No change. Disconne

I've also had success with the MFJ-856. However, when you get close to a strong source, it can overload and lock up. My solution was to make two wide straps of thin aluminum with which to short out t

Some of the techniques for fixing these issues are: 1. I added a attenuator to the MFJ device. I moved the actual receiver down the mast, and ran coax, then added a step attenuator. 2. Once I "think"

Most recently, I have isolated a source on a power pole by using both the MFJ device AND a home brew 0.5-meter shielded loop connected to a battery-powered receiver tuned to the frequency of maximum

I was a little surprised by Dave's strong advice against entering a home where RFI is located.  On two occasions at my former townhouse QTH, I discovered that the source of RFI was "clickless" light

Using a Moxon antenna is another way to get a sharper null - there was an article in QST describing such an antenna, which I use with a shirt-pocket handi-talkie with 136 MHz AM aircraft band.  The n

Hi Pete QST March 2001, by K1BQT. I built the Moxon without the receiver and use it with a wideband HT. I  built a simple step attenuator with 30 db of attenuation in 10 db steps. It works well. 73Cr

I haven't tried using an antenna with a sharp null, but I wonder how well it really works with power line noise. The problem seems to be that the lines themselves radiate so much that it often appear

Hi Don, My experience is very similar to yours, using the MFJ-856. To make sure I have the right source, I relay the audio from the HF receiver at home, and listen for a matching pattern on 135 MHz.
