Sniffing around with E- and H-field probes, the largest contributor I can find are fast edges going over SPI lines on ribbon cable between multi-tube carrier PCB... quite obvious up to and beyond 1.5 GHz. I can see the digit fade activity on the spectrum analyzer... Noise for the first half

Luckily he refunded my money... I really should give him bad feedback but he sounds like a noob. Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Oscillations and switching signals are not enough on their own to create RFI. They have to be radiated. Shielding is a common way to reduce emissions (and also to reduce susceptibility to incoming interference). I always use twisted-pairs for my power cabling, and when I have to use ribbon

Naaa, it means he screwed up. He only had the one item listed. It means, he wants $399 plus shipping for it. Not $1. So, you can agree to pay $399 or cancel the winning bid. Michail Wilson 206-920-6312 -Original Message- From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com

My three B7971 clocks all produced RFI in the AM and SW radio bands, and I kept my radios at least 5m away. They were based on the CT7001 clock chip, so the MUX rate was about 2 KHZ. The RFI (and the acoustic singing from the tubes) seemed to change with the digits displayed. I assumed that

I have several AM and FM radios and I have not experienced any noticeable interference from the various nixie clocks. On the other hand, I have experi nc d quite a lot from various LED lights and laptops. All of it is typically short range (several feet/meters). This article discusses a radio

It means that he wanted to list "quite a few" items and had to use low starting prices. I guess the one in question didn't get bidded-up. The aggregate list value meant that he chose to risk not starting high. Or am I missing a point here? John k -Original Message- From:

Sigh, Tempest. "We" used to service some Tempest spec sites. Btw, you need a security clearance to be able to access/read the spec too :-)) And, some of our guys just would not keep the spares cabinet locked. I agree that shielding/filtering the supply is not impossible, but is so much harder

You can always build a little tempest facility around it. Like a small Faraday cage. Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to
