It's RV season again here in Connecticut and I'm expecting a few of these to roll into the area on their way to the casinos near our sites. The tough part is that they only tend to stay a short time before they run out of money and leave. Hard to find.
The problem seems to be worse when the TV is not connected to the antenna. Some RVers stow their TV when they travel, but the antenna may still be connected to the power source. The combination of an unterminated coax and the high gain of the antenna makes a good feedback loop for oscillation to occur. 73, Joe, K1ike ---- Andrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is the antenna that was causing interference :- > http://www.winegard.com/interference.htm > There was also an ARRL article floating around a while back. > > Andrew > > -- > ------------------------------- > KC2EUS - GM1YMI > KC2EUS/R 443.700 MHz 100 Hz PL > IRLP #4925 Elink #9969 > www.kc2eus.org > www.kc2eus.org/sota > ------------------------------- > > Steve Bosshard (NU5D) wrote: > > Our local Medical Center, Scott and White Memorial has an RV park, and a > > Med 8 duplex base station, that uses 5 key clicks to operate a telephone > > patch to the ER Department. > > > > At times an interfering signal would cause the patch to go wild.
