Ah! I hadn't thought of that either. Good idea. I have a good dummy load. I'll try that later today. I and our oldest son have come down with some hopefully minor illness, so I am rather slow today..

That is very interesting below, Don. There is no filtering on my DSL line. I'll look into that asap too. Thanks. Ken W7EKB Kenneth G. Gordon W7EKB "Courage is being scared to death but saddling up an
Ken, The moral of my story was that with one ADSL modem I just needed filtering on the phone line right before it connected to my ADSL modem, but with a different model I had to add filtering to the

Ken, also, I don't think it's RF causing your routers to fail. If that were the case they'd surely fail more often than a year apart. Something else is causing the routers to fail like that. Could it

Ah, HA!!!! I have been hearing a very strong carrier, slightly modulated, on 14.030, and 21.063 for years and had never, ever thought it might be RF from the network!!!! Thank you for that info. Ken

Thanks again, Dale. Boy! You fellows have given me enough different things to think about and to investigate that I'm going to be busy for the next couple of weeks. Again, I REALLY thank you for all
Ken good luck with it and hope you get feeling better. 73 Dale, k9vuj Thanks again, Dale. Boy! You fellows have given me enough different things to think about and to investigate that I'm going to be
If you have neighbors, it's quite normal to hear them too. When I lived in Chicago, I heard at least three carriers most of the time. These are locked to a clock in the router, each neighbor will be
Well, not on RFI since the OM asked for help... I would start by making chokes out of all wires entering the device. Wrap a half-dozen turns around your hand in a loop four to five inches across and
That is NOT a choke, it is an inductor, which can resonate with a cable whose length makes it capacitive. An effective choke must cause the common mode circuit to have a high common mode Z at the fre
I guess there's no chance in Hell of it ever working then... Sorry OM, you're screwed. It's not a choke (despite the term being in use since the late 1800's because it "choked off" stray currents) a

I continue to refer folks to my extended (and rigorous) development of the fundamentals of this. A high Q resonance is effective ONLY at resonance, and it's a NARROW resonance, determined by length o

I'm with you on this one (among others), Roger. I'm certainly no expert, although I do know "some" things. ;-) Yes. I have downloaded a portion of what Jim has on his site, and what little of it I ha
