This noise is ruining enjoyment of 75M phone reception. It blanks out SSB qso's about 20db/S9. The carriers are spaced 25 KHz to 15 KHz. So far have tried computers off, lights off, Wireless off, remote wireless temp reading displays off, remote wireless security cameras off remote wireless printers off. Unhooking antenna makes the carriers go away, but also signal goes away. Rig is FT 891 with $20 Switcher Supply from Amazon. I am going to try a 12VDC battery next. |

Yes, run a receiver off a battery. Then try flipping the main breaker as there are so many devices in a home these days. That $20 switcher is likely to be a problem. Proper filtering of power supplies adds to the cost/price. Zak W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |

You were correct. It was the switcher. Noise evaporated when replaced by battery. So, need a QST article on how to turn noisy switchers into linear massive iron and copper and pass transister pwr supply performance. Should be able to do it with enough chokes, caps, and shielding. |
