I am trying to fix a noisy electric fence that my neighbor has. I just
discovered it today, and have not had a chance to talk with him as it appears
he is out of town for the weekend. The QRN is very loud S-9 plus on pulses,
but also seems to be there intermittently when the loud pulse dissapears. The
on-off cycle seems to be about 1 second ( 1 second on, 1 second off).
Does anyone out there have any pointers for me? I see in the ARRL RFI
handbook that they recommend an AC line filter along with a capacitor across
the automatic switch. How big should this capacitor be? I was going to just
try 0.01 mfd to begin with and see if that does the trick. I will also look
for any bad insulators, etc. I looked around tonite and couldn't see any
visual arcing.
Please respond directly, and not via the reflector.
Thanks in advance.
73,
