[RFI] Sitting position and RFI ...

Riddle me this ...

I'm sitting at my desk and my handheld is sitting on a wood shelf

just behind the HP laptop.

The HT is on and set to monitor 146.670 (it has long thin flex antenna).

All of a sudden the squelch opened to static.

I walked around with it and it seemed that the source might be the

inline UHF amplifier that feeds two rtl-sdr devices, or the cellphone

repeater. Note: Both devices are located on the other side of a 4x8'

steel door from the handheld, laptop, and me.

When I sat back down at my desk it was quiet, then when I moved,

it started, again.

Yup, it's responding to the position of my body relative to the laptop

and mouse.

Sitting back, away from the desk opens the squelch, leaning forward

quiets it.

WDYT?
