When I purchased my PC, I took a portable SW rcvr along and shut down all nearby CRTs and listened to each of the CRTs I was looking at. Then I bought the quietest one. It so happens that the quiet o

Deni, The fact remains that you could spend a lot of time applying ferrites and by-pass caps, as well as line filters, to many computers and related gadgets, and still have moderate to severe RFI to

It doesn't (all) specifically apply to laptops, but here goes anyways.... It is essential that the PC itself be "bottled up" - make sure all the case edges are really in contact. In this regard, I bu

Now I'm curious. If ferrites are hard to apply, would wrapping the cable in aluminum foil and grounding it at one end to the shack ground provide any protection? Seems like a cheap experiment. 73, Bo

Hmmm. Are you putting a choke on the ground lead? Doesn't that prevent the protection it SHOULD provide for HF transients like lightning and power line misbehavior? I can't imagine that being blessed
