Dale, Thanks for the links. One very important issue for us as individual Hams is that no matter how well suppressed Part 15 devices are for emissions, they can be highly susceptible to RF we generat

Marc, At this point, it strikes me you need a different alarm company! Do you have a local ARRL RFI technical volunteer? You would do well to bring them aboard, if for no other reason than to furnish

I worked on RFI and EMC problems associated with DSL, both CAP/RADSL and DMT. The telco portion has mandatory immunity testing (under Telcordia GR-1089 and telco addenda to that) so is pretty good. B

I spent five years in telecom EMC design and testing recently; that "ground" is merely a return path for induced currents. House protectors need a good LOCAL ground. How good? Using the GR-1089 surge

re Snap-on ferrites as common-mode tester, I've been using this for some years. Ad hoc test equipment. Great minds must think alike (heh). However, they don't replace a Solar or Eaton (or the like) s

I think that in these situations it is important to file an FCC complaint, including a copy of our correspondence or a summary of telephone calls, etc. The Commission _officially_ recognizes no probl

I'm not going to dispute what Eddie says about the good TVI complaints do -- or don't do. They're often futile. The Commission isn't staffed as it was twenty years ago and interference complaints cou

This is one thing that's gotten better. The IC-701 and IC-720 receivers were not better than what we now buy, and a good thing, too. Receivers have improved a LOT since the first PLL synthesized, "Ge

I worked with an ADSL modem a couple of years ago that had problems with RF noise on the power line. This responded well to added common-mode filtering at the power input. But I also had to float the

Bill, I think I remember this subject being discussed in another venue, possibly on YahooGroups. In that case, if I recall correctly, the noise was evidently coming from a switching power supply prov

Sounds to me as if folks are talking past each other here. We run a dipole feed off at right angles to the antenna to minimize RF on its shield. Each half of the dipole induces a current on the shiel

Now, that IS interesting! Does NEC tell us that there isn't an end-null in an end-fed half-wave's's near field? Is the coupling purely capacitive to the adjacent feedline conductor? Cortland

We can account for common-mode current here without recourse to induced fields. We must provide a relatively low impedance for the matching circuit return. There could be perhaps 20 volts on this ret

Eric, I don't know what permeability your beads have. Normally used "EMI" beads run around 850, with 100 to 200 ohms added impedance (each)**at 100 MHz**. You can expect them to have very little effe

I suggest that you install a robust common-mode RFI filter as close to the compressor as practical, to keep noise out of your vessel's power wiring. Any number of pre-packaged powerline filters are s
