The following website has a 1M .mp3 file of some QRM
I'm getting on 160 meters. A little background is in order: My station has my PC about 3' away from my FT-857D's. I've eliminated all cables except video so I'm pretty sure it's not coming from them. I've powered off my monitor and adjusted the refresh rate to no avail. I grounded the PC's metal case and tried it with/without the side covers. No difference in the signal. Tonight I looked at my CPU temp and it was a tad higher (127 deg F) than normal so I decided to turn on a box fan pointed at the left side of the tower case. To my shock, the QRM faded away! I switched the fan on and off several times to prove my theroy. Then I made the mp3 recording you can download he http://members.cox.net/kg0wx/index.html Listen closely to the sound - at 2.2 seconds into the rec- ording, you can hear the "tick" that is me turning on the fan to "low". Within a few seconds, the QRM is gone! Anybody know where I should look to find this and kill it? -- 73's es gd dx de Ken KGØWX Grid EM17ip, Flying Pigs #1055, List Owner, Yahoo!
