I have a USB headset now so should be all set for FreeDV. 14.236 is not active this weekend because of all the contest activity, so I haven't done any testing other than the get it connected.<br /><br />73,<br />ChrisVE3NRThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495664566826092253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258590603195449959.post-49608306686741818312014-02-02T14:47:21.343-05:002014-02-02T14:47:21.343-05:00Thanks for the great write-up on the net results. ...Thanks for the great write-up on the net results. I am suffering from TVI and RFI on 6m. <br /><br />We have two sub-woofers in the house and in the past they have both erupted with a great deal of low frequency sound. The leads to one where about 15 feet. I do have a wound ferrite choke and beads on that cable. At 6m, though, the chokes are not enough. So, I swapped out that cable for a shorter one (about 7') and the RFI to the sub woofer(s) has stopped. <br /><br />The other surprise RFI was to my son's power conditioner he has for his gaming and stereo equipment. When I was transmitting, he could hear the SSB inflection (but not the words) and his power conditioner eventually shut down and everything attached to it. I suppose with all the diodes in that unit, he was easily able to receive and decode the SSB signal. I was transmitting at about 50w and the antenna is close to his setup. I will try less power for the next Net to see if I can reduce or eliminate the RFI.<br /><br />As to the TVI, well, I will need a good notch filter on my TV antenna leads to filter out the 6m signal. I had a similar problem when I was on VHF. Bob, VE3WY, sold me a 2m notch filter for my TV antennas and that worked very well. Hey, Bob, if you have a 6m notch filter, let me know. I might need to buy a little more filtering to help keep the family from pulling the hamshack power plug :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04989646329258492991noreply@blogger.com
