Didn't the ARRL do some work with the manufacturer of a similar device a few years ago. As I recall, the approach was to notch the amateur bands so that the thing didn't attempt to use them for trans

I've started noticing that on 10 meters my top Yaesu G-1000 rotator has begun to emit broadband white noise when the antenna is actually turning. Any ideas what the cause could be? 73, Pete N4ZR The

Thanks to everyone for their ideas on this. I had come to pretty much the same conclusion as Dave about the filter, maybe with some support as well for the idea that the brushes in the motor are wear

Could be a lot worse. ARRL has worked with the Homplug Alliance since before the year 2000 to ensure that amateur bands are protected. See <http://www.arrl.org/forum/topics/view/23> for a full discus

This may be in the category of "you should never say never, when it comes to RFI". Back in the 80s, when I lived in a townhouse, I was focusing on 80 meters to finish 5BDXCC. I became aware of local

But the frequency selectivity was interesting. Of course, we civilians didn't have wideband receivers in those days, or means of visualizing signals over a frequency domain, but this was nothing like

Thanks Dave for the info on the MFJ unit. Years ago I tested their predecessor, which had just a dipole, and a sper-reger receiver - not very useful! As long as you don't need calibrated steps and yo

I'm seeing very crisp, clean 8-KHz-spaced RFI spikes on 160 and 80 meters (on HDSDR). Because it is clean and does not appear to drift noticeably, I'm inclined to rule out switching power supplies. A

Don't let them tell you this. There are specific FCC requirements for signal "egress", so if you can identify the frequency with a cable TV channel, and pin it on them, then they are indeed required

This is probably classic switching supply noise - the linear power supply/battery would be a good way to rule out the lights themselves. You could, unfortunately, have radiation both from the AC inpu
