Thanks Jim - I should try it. I have never tried to curb it mainly because it is usually off when I'm in the shack. This is a 10 year old Panasonic set and I seem to remember reading on the RFI list a few years ago about a couple of guys trying to work on their sets. As I remember, they said the set (screen) radiated most of the RFI and that putting toroids on the AC line did not help.

But you can never have enough #31's around so it won't hurt to try it here! It is getting pretty close to replacement time for this thing anyway. A much lighter (and a little bigger) LCD is in the future ;-)

Thanks again & 73,
Dave W8FGU

Dave,

You may be able to knock this noise source down with effective line
filtering.  The first thing to try is winding many turns of the AC cable
around a #31 ferrite core.  It won't help noise that is radiated
directly by wiring inside the unit, but it can take the AC cable out of
the picture. And you should also approach the manufacturer and firmly
insist that they  fix it.
