Thanks for the advice, but that test proved to be inconclusive. The
problem is that the primary symptom of the interference is that a color
signal becomes somewhat black-and-white. I can see little horizontal
color lines, but for the most part the interference only affects the color.
With no input all there is is black-and-white snow. When I transmit with
no input I see no interference. What I really need is some way of supplying
an input that is practically guaranteed to be interference free...something
like a piece of test equipment that supplies a picture through a very
short, well shielded cable, preferably running off DC.
Someone suggested a few days ago that I try displaying one of the tv's
menues instead of an input signal and see if the interference is there.
Well, it isn't. I see no interference when the menu is on the display.
Of course, I don't know what this tells me. I'm sure this rules *something*
out, but I'm not sure at what point in the RF/IF/etc chain the menu gets
injected.
