William, I suspect you had an attachment stripped by the reflector. Was it a sound file or spectrum view? Ron, does the RFI occur only on 17M? I presume you've checked other bands? The switch-mode power conversion in PV inverters can generate RFI across a broad spectrum, but it would be unusual

Hi, See: https://www.nk7z.net/rfi-now-house-cleaning/ I has similar issues, and solved them via the process described on my web page. That is Part two of a three part article on removing RFI, and understanding your RF environment. This part covers self induced RFI, which is what I suspect

Band specific problems are nearly always the result of common mode RFI (RF on the feedline/rig/CAT cable). Start by testing into a dummy load or with QRP (<5W) output. After that, use the normal common mode elimination measures, quality chokes at the antenna feedpoint(s), bonding all of the

Dear OMs and YLs,PV Panel noise does not necessarily go away at night.    I have an installation at a neighbours and it generates noise 24 hours a day.    Filters and ferrites have largely solved the problem but it was an expensive enough effort.   Good luck, we are all in for it.I paid as my

In solar (PV) systems, Inverters, Charge Controllers and associated cabling are the prime suspects. There is a lot of info on the internet, and some of it is pretty good. Shielding can be effective, but the real problem is that the FCC has seen fit to exempt solar systems from most Part 15

If you disabled Serial Enumeration and Modem Control at Startup, as shown by screenshots in this document: https://bit.ly/FTDItip but the rig still keys when you connect the USB cable or turn on the PC, then you may need to do it again, especially if the cable was moved to a different USB port
