FYI,
My house was built in the 70's and does not have all aluminum wire, but it does
have copper coated aluminum wire.
With the recent 6-meter openings I decided to try the SteppIR and Pro III out
on 6-meters and I was causing some audio RFI on the TV. With the DirecTV
antenna cable disconnected it was still there. Moving around the room changed
the level of the RFI.
I unplugged the DirecTV box from the power strip and plugged it into the wall
socket. The RFI jumped up about 30 db louder and decreased when I wiggled the
plug.
I pulled the duplex outlet out and it had #12 push in wires that were noticably
arced and apparently were the source of the problem because replacing the
outlet knocked out any sign of TVI.
I think is is time to go around the whole house and replace all the outlets
with the compression type.
