[Flexradio] Rf issues in monitor

2013-03-25 Thread Jim Gilliam
Rf might be entering through the power and video cables. It could be that due to your RF issues that many monitors might suffer this interference problem. I would look into winding the cables around some torroids to see if this can prevent the RF from entering the monitor circuitry. Also, you

I have both a Samsung and an Acer side by side on the 'puter running the Flex5000. Even when I have had RF in the shack problems when running a KW (since fixed) these monitors were not bothered nor did they contribute to the problem so far as I can tell. 73 and good luck Patrick AF5CK

Granite cable is the best solution to RF back to the computer or into the Flex. Once I replaced my cheap 1394 cable with Granite all issues disappeared. 73- W1JCW John ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz

My monitor cables all have rather hefty looking ferrite beads molded into the cables and I have no RF problems. That's the way they were delivered from Dell. My son in law recently went to Best Buy to get a monitor for a new PC he was building and found that he could buy an HDTV (TV tuner and

Mileage varies. I have a 50 Samsung LCD/LED display in the living room, which is the exact farthest point in the house from my 160M full sloper. Even at several hundred feet separation, QRO operation on 160 turns the blasted thing on and off. This is with a stack of a dozen Mix 31 beads on

Mike, I have a Samsung SA300 22 LED monitor with the infamous touch sensor controls that can be problematic. My monitor would turn itself off whenever I ran my amplifier on 160 meters. This is quite disconcerting while you're operating your Flex. I had no problems with any other bands. By

Hi K8IT Neil here. I just been cleaning and found a original set of SDR-1000 boards and cables that I purchased at Dayton in 2002. It appears that I need a parallel port and sound card to make this work. With today's windows 7 laptops I do not have anything but the internal sound card. What

Haven't been following this discussion Robert but 2 things solved my rf problems. First, grounding the computer, second adding an rf choke at the wire antenna feed point. Almost forgot - getting the antenna far enough away from the shack too. 73 Wayne K4ELO On Mon, Mar 25, 2013, at 04:42 PM,

My RF problem occurred through mic cable resulting in distorted audio on 15 and 17 meters. When mic cable replaced with properly shielded cable there was complete resolution of my RF problem. I thought FireWire may have also been culprit, but it wasn't. I changed to Granite FireWire anyway.
