James,

You'll likely get some other "been there, got the Tee shirt" replies beside mine. Could you re-post the comment on one of LinkedIn's EMC groups? Would you mind if *I* did? The ARRL EMC group probably need a heads-up, too, and maybe Electronic Design, et al.. Companies have short memories.

Back in 1986 or so, my brother's VERY high-resolution B&W monitor was interfering with his neighbors television reception on the18th floor of a Boston MA building. Considering that the transmitting antenna was a few miles away and line-of-sight, it had to have been really, really bad. I was able to fix that with an external 360 degree shield over the cable, tightly held to the EMC backshells with cable ties. A few years later, At Tandy Computers, I tested a 3rd Party TV tuner card when the video cable provided with it made a (formerly) compliant computer fail Part 15 -- and only when the tuner function was off; somebody had missed that. Fun times.

Cheers,
