After several months of just not listening to my 2 meter base station,
I
finally took time to find the source of the interference that held the
squelch open on the repeater channel I listen to most often. Turned out
it
was my Dlink DI-604 router. I borrowed a Linksys NR-041 router from my
neighbor and it works a little better. I can now listen to the 145.390
repeater, not because the Linksys puts out no RFI, but only because it
puts
it out in a different place (mostly in the 146.46-146.58 range). I will
probably invest in a newer router, probably wireless. Question I have is
does anyone have any experience with the new breed of wireless routers
that
are reasonable clean in the RFI/2 meter spectrum? Thanks.

I've heard from more than one source regarding D-link routers causing
interference. Seems the switching PS is causing problems in HF radios.
The company says it does not have a problem.


I replaced a Linksys 4 port router with a Belkin to get a spur off the local
repeater. It was so strong I could not squelch it out. Not sure where the
Belkin puts the spurs if it has them.

Also, be sure to either wire yourself or buy the straight through
ethernet cables that are wired for the 568-A standard, CAT 5E, enhanced.
Makes a big difference in long runs for connectivity and maybe in RFI.
They will tell you there is no difference in operation between a 568-A
and 568-B, but I can tell you from personal experience there is.
