>>Greetings all,

>>About a month ago I posted a message about an intermittent RFI problem on

>>intervals). I had continued to try to track it down as time/WX permitted and
>>had narrowed it down to my house and the neighbor behind me. Yesterday the
>>neighbor's jr. op was out mowing the lawn so I went over and talked to him
>>after he finished. It turns out that he came home from college about the
>>time the RFI started. He brought his clone computer home that they had
>>bought for him last fall when he went off to school and started using it
>>here. I have checked from their QTH and the RFI seems to disappear
>>completely with unplugging it -- now I need to get on the landline with him
>>and check from my QTH. I had him unplug it as a secondary test because when
>>it was on it _completely_ wiped out the AM radio in the hall outside his
>>room with broadband noise! (BTW the computer is an "Alaska" brand: PS says
>>"Made in China" as to be expecte!
>>  d.)
>>
>>Does this sound like it could be the culprit, and if so, what's the best way
>>to get it resolved? (The family is very cooperative and the system is less
>>than 1 yr. old, so the question would seem to come down to whether the
>>dealer or the manufacturer is responsible if I can prove that this system is
>>the source of the RFI.)
