Recently, I discovered how RF noisy my fairly recent
ebay purchased laptop is (an Acer Pentium III). It
replaced a Micron Pentium 120mhz computer which was
very quiet on the radio, but also kind of slow, and I
thought a laptop would be nice in the shack because it
would mean less wires, etc.
I find that it really raises the noise floor on 80,
somewhat on 40, and on parts of 20 and 15. It is
probably bad on other bands as well, but I really
haven't experimented with them yet.
So I probably need to get a replacement, unless anyone
knows how to kill this noise. What are some good, RF
quiet computers to look at? I don't have alot of money
to spend, but can come up with a little bit. Speed
probably won't be that important, as long as I can use
it for some of the digital modes. The Micron
unfortunately died, or I would hook it back up.
