Pat,
For starters, go to the K9YC website and read the mountains of info Jim has
posted there. You must read carefully and thoroughly - don't be in a hurry.
If you have any beads or cores, some Type 43 material might work. But ... I
must also ask:
1. Do you get the hash ONLY when using the power supply?
2. If so, have you checked with a sniffer probe to verify that the problem is
radiated emissions from the cords and not from the body of the power supply?
3. I am not familiar with the PA-10 pwr sup. Is that a Dell product? Does it
bear FCC and/or CE markings?
FWIW: I have a new Dell Latitude that uses a Dell MK947 pwr sup (made FOR Dell,
not by Dell). I have not tried it near radios and/or antennas as yet, but it
does have the FCC and CE marks. That means it has to meet FCC Part 15, Class B
emissions, which are still "loud" enough to screw up radios if the unit is
close to antennas.
FYI: The European CE mark means that the pwr sup (and computer, when so marked)
will withstand 3 V/m of RF. Our regulatory cousins across the Atlantic had
more stones than the FCC did in demanding some minimal susceptibilty
capability. I look for the CE mark when shopping for hardware.
