[TowerTalk] RFI WITH MY NEIGHBOR...HELP!

[Michael Germino]

Being clean with 100 watts, you are half way there.  You should check to see what level of power you are causing problems, then you can see what improves the situation.

Don't forget to check the leads going into the DVD.  Sometimes a choke on the power lead helps.  If you have some split beads you can use them to see if you make any difference.  If you see a little improvement, then you can order the big toroids. (Read Jim's information)
