[TenTec] RFI Issues and other station high voltage precautions

[Richards]

All my ground loop problems went away after Bob, K4TAX, and Jim Brown, 
K9yc, talked about this same thing on another reflector a couple of 
years ago.   It now seems so blamed obvious...   like smacking your 
forehead, and yelling,
"Sheesh... I could have had a V-8!)

ALL the stuff in the shack that interacts with any other stuff - 
inducing transceivers, computers with sound cards, active studio 
monitors (speakers),  DSP audio filters, etc,  -- all run off the SAME 
heavy duty AC main line.   Voila... no more buzzing.   No more isolation 
transformers.

Best thing I did when buying the house was to build the wife the kitchen 
of her dreams... and the next best thing was to run extra AC lines to 
the shack while the floor was all torn up.
