Don,
>> remedy is a lesson from my old ham radio days… <<
What impressed me most was the way you zoomed in on the cause. It certainly
seems very plausible. The thing about the remedy that may do the trick is if
the radio frequencies are using the cable as an antennae. But if the computer
cases are acting in that manner or something else is acting like an antennae,
like power cords or …. who knows, stopping the problem with be really tricky.
Its a unique approach to use a T-junction and add a "foot" off the line. What
we would do is just use alot more cable and loop it. The problem with that of
course is you get a lot more signal loss, than what your suggestion would seem
to provide. I know extra coiled coax is a common solution as are the
Humbuckers, but I've always found these remedies wanting somewhat as a variety
of things can affect ground loops and they ebb and flow to a degree.
I don't see a quick fix in the works, and I've got to finish this project by
tomorrow so I'll have to let it slide until the weekend. Fortuneatly its not
having any effect on the monitors or anything, but it is kind of peculiar.
So its not Rush's political viewpoint that impresses you, its his background.
I find Rush mostly interesting because he causes such a fuss with the media.
But I can't get started on politics cause I'll end up writing pages and pages.
Thanks again Mr. High Band Radio, may the RF stay in your tuner and your color
bars true.
