I have a 3-computer/single printer wired network (using a Linksys
router/print server) in my house. For a variety of reasons, I can't run
a wireless network.
Jim Brown, K9YC, posted an interesting item this past month that touched
on RFI generated by Ethernet (CAT5) cabling. In the post, Jim mentioned
some specific birdie frequencies. I dialed them up on the Orion and, lo
and behold, there they were.
My questions are:
What other frequencies will I hear the Ethernet (I believe Jim's posting
stops at 10 MHz)?
What can I do to lower/eliminate the RFI? The router is about 20 feet
away from the radio, the shack computer, cable modem and local printer
are within 3 feet of the radio.
Thanks in advance,
