Cortland, these are good point as I have been guilty of working around such issues. The couple times I did chase them down, I found one was coming from the Local Osc. in a scanning radio. Another was a keyboard that was radiating and did not have a ferrite on it, but in their FCC report it had a ferrite. I placed a ferrite on it and the issue went away.
There are a lot of home built computers, built out of catalogs/online that are no doubt significantly over the limits. It could be the use of cable TV has lessened the impact on the everyday consumer, while continuing to impact us poor hams. I do wonder as there are a lot of people who know that I know something about radios and computers, but no one has ask what to do about an interference.
