A very cute test setup. Anyway I don't exactly see what we have learnt once we know all dips by name, err frequency and dB. I'd guess we get a lot of dips, and we can't tell what element caused them, and especially we don't learn anything about audio contamination path. Even less we learn something *new*. Werner's original proposal seems somewhat more result oriented, alas all this fails when attaching probe to the "victim net", due to total change of RF-properties (probe has some pF! need to open can, etc). So probably the most helpful test would be to use a +36dBm generator at 850/900/.... and "record" buzz by arecord piped to ssh-stdout to external PC, so you can level up generator and see what dBm you need at different frequencies to start buzz. Basically exactly the tests I already did in TPE, though I had to use a second phone for generator purpose, and this was rather clumsy and not very reproduceable. Also direct coupling of RF to JK4401:4 at a moderate level might be a way to go, then check with scope/spectralizer all the pins and pads inside can, and get an idea of where RF jumps to from primary path (if any). Again we won't learn anything about how we could improve things, other than KEEP RF OUT of CAN, i.e. away from non-linear audio-circuits. Anyway, I'm looking forward to read your report on test results. cheers jOERG
