Topband: Elimination of Treadmill RFI on 160 meters

[Carl Clawson]

Nice to hear all the comments, recommendations, and indeed some success
stories here. I too have a treadmill problem. Although I'm blessed with a
radio-friendly spouse who always asks before she starts it up, I'd like to
add a line filter. Ferrites on the cord don't by themselves squelch it.
Murphy dictates that the new one will show up when she's in the middle of
her workout.

How about some outlet box recommendations?

The electrics are not the hard part for me, it's the mechanics. I've been
looking for a suitable box to mount it all in and coming up kind of dry.
Maybe I'm not looking for the right keywords. Seems simple, a box with a
cutout for two 120VAC outlets and enough room inside for a line filter and
some toroids. A strain relief clamp would be a big plus but something else
can always be worked out for that. In the past I've bolted a surface mount
outlet box to another project box but it's kinda big and ugly, and more
expensive than it ought to be.
