You may want to consider getting wifi card for the pc and a wifi router.  Then you shouldn't have problems with the ethernet lines.I use a large #31 fair-rite snap on ferrite with 3 turns on my USB connection to my ftdx3000 in addition to the tiny ferrite that the cable came with.Chuck K9LC

I have movedinto an apartment (and am regretting it for several reasons) and with theantenna now being much closer to the station and all the computer equipmentthis has happened quite soon on the newest shack PC. My son, who nevercaught the ham radio virus, is in charge of the computer systems for a fairsize corporation says this is not something that he has seen any problemswith in any of there thousands of PCs. Most of the stuff I see online isabout the networking (and other things) causing RFI to the receiver. What Iam looking for is keeping my RF from interfering with operation of networkand USB connections as well as actual damage to these devices. Does anybodyhave any experience with this?_______________________________________________RFI mailing listRFI at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/rfi_______________________________________________RFI mailing listRFI at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/rfi
