[TenTec] RF

[WILLIAM F MANSEY]

Hello all,
    I solved my "RF in the shack" problem very simply.  I replaced the
"HEPA" filter in my vacuum cleaner with an RF filter!  Problem solved!  :-)
    Well - not quite yet as I have not figured out how, or where, to empty
the vacuum!!!
    Actually I did have a problem with RF getting back to my Jupiter.  In my
case I traced the route to the remote encoder.  I clamped a ferrite bead on
the cable near the plug that connects to the Jupiter and made several turn
coil in the cable itself.  This has virtually eliminated the problem(s) and
I rarely have trouble now.  I definitely love the Jupiter but must admit
that I was unhappy about the RF problem.  I was not aware that so many
others were having the same, or similar, problems.  That is what I get for
not posting to the reflector!!!  73's  BILL.
