Thanks to everyone who helped me pin things down, I think I may have found it. The constant frying sound was particularly bad today on 28 MHz, still seeming to come from the pole where my previous pr

Does anyone know the name, phone number and/or location of an RFI specialist in Allegheny Power. They're a middling big company that bought out the local (tiny) Potomac Edison a few years ago, and th

I'm seriously considering investing in a VHF AM receiver for DFing power line noise. Has anyone tried either the Radio Shack 12-615 or the 12-456 for this purpose? The prices are sure right. I've sea

I saw that in their latest on-line catalogue, Jim -- but I'm cheap! I found a September 1992 QST article (not initially found through the on-line index) that discussed using an earlier Radio Shack RX

Don't split bead ferrites generally lack sufficient inductance to be much use at HF, unless you're able to make several turns of the cable through them? 73, Pete N4ZR Contesting is! The World Contest

What is considered to be a normal, acceptable level of noise radiation from high voltage transmission lines? I was out looking for my 80m noise source yesterday, and noticed when approaching a paired

Are the NOAA weather broadcasts AM or FM? I bought a Radio shack multiband radio the other day for RFI finding, which covers both the aviation band and 145-175 MHz, including weather broadcasts. Band

Different situation -- I had persistent RFI to my wife's Micron monitor, particularly on 80 and 40 and especially on phone. Ferrites on the signal cable etc. helped not at all. On RadioShack.com, I f

Dale, the only technical reply I received was from someone dealing with another (unspecified) brand, which used the same basic principle -- 8 kHz and coding for interference avoidance. 73, Pete Smith

On the face of it, this sounds like an improvement on any of the $125-150 filters out there. Probably overkill for my application, but like other things NQN has done, it's done right. 73, Pete Smith
