[TenTec] Fw: !!#**++!!! noise source found!!!

[Ken Brown]

Hi Roy,

Congratulations on finding the noise source, and being lucky enough to 
have a neighbor who is cooperative enough to work out a solution that 
works for you.

This is no doubt a mass produced item, and similar units maybe causing 
other hams !!#**++!!! noise problems. It would be helpful to know the 
brand name and model number of the unit. While the solution you and your 
neighbor came up with is good enough in your situation, it would also be 
nice to determine an easy fix to reduce or eliminate the noise while the 
unit is on. Maybe some bypass capacitors or just the power cord run 
through a snap on ferrite core. If the noise was really that bad it is 
likely that the unit was actually in violation of FCC rules, and 
possible the manufacturer would be receptive to including a couple of 
bypass capacitors in their next production run. Yea...I guess I'm dreaming.
