120 Hz is also a strong component of electronic noise generated by power supplies and power control equipment. The audio spectrum is not a great clue -- the RF/IF waterfall shows where the bodies are

When I bought some LED fixtures for the kitchen a few years ago, I connected a power cord to them at home and tested them for RFI before installing them. All were OK. One of my neighbors unwittingly

The broadband noise source with the 1.1 kHz AM audio component turned out to be an aquarium heater controller at an immediate neighbor's house. It was raising the broadband noise floor on 20m by abou

I saw/heard something like that, with spacing of about 10 kHz. I had the same thought about it being local. 73, Scott K9MA 73, Pete N4ZR On 3/6/2023 10:47 AM, nm8rmedic via RFI wrote: IARU Intruder W

My next door neighbors installed an Enphase system last year. I had the installer put ferrite cores on the wiring. The system is about 20 meters from my tower. I've detected no RFI from it. Whether t

I, too, have found my Cyberpower UPS to be RF quiet, even when it's running the radio on the battery. It also generates a clean sine wave at a reasonable cost. 73, Scott K9MA On 6/12/2023 6:28 PM, Da

It's really hard to tell whether RFI you see with a probe like that is going to be an issue. They're most useful when you DO have an issue, and you're trying to track down the source. FWIW, I have a

I recently rebuilt my whole station. Among other things, I neatened up all the wires and cables. Naturally, this resulted in a bunch of new RFI problems. The latest is a malfunctioning usb keyboard.

For what it's worth, I wired my whole house with unshielded CAT 6 cable, before the shielded stuff and connectors were available. While I do have a bunch of ferrite on the cables at the router, etc.,

It may not even be a failed component, as any two pieces of poorly bonded hardware can produce noise. That could explain the temperature dependence. In any case, have them check all the hardware on t

An almost giveaway symptom  for this type of failure is erratic behavior of the RFI in a good gusty wind. True. It is possible to simulate that gusty wind, but power companies frown on that. 73, Scot
