Mike, I doubt the source of the interference is the broadband cable itself
but more likely the hardware attached to it. That's good news because
getting your antenna far away from the hardware should help a lot -
especially using shielded transmission line as Frank suggests. The bad
news
is that the DX-394 has a built-in ferrite rod LW/MW antenna so you'll need
very long, bendy arms to move the antenna far away! Some of us have
shielded
our DX-394's to great advantage. I've even gone to the length of removing
the ferrite rod antenna. For more, visit www.mods.dk and the DX-394 user
group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RADIOSHACKDX394/ .

I think you've got it. I sorta went into "BPL mode" and overreacted. A
cable system shouldn't be a major RFI source. But since it's a new
installation, it's worth checking to be sure the system's shielding is
working properly. The interference hot spots can be sniffed out with a
small hand held radio tuned to MW or LW.
