To bad turning off the TV is not an option. Other than looking at the weather channel a few times a month (mostly winter) our TVs have not been on for 11 months. Truly amazing how annoying "sit-stups" (for some strange reason also called "sitcoms") are.

Besides my, now, dislike for TVs, what are the characteristics of the noise on Panadaptor? I have some evening RFI issues which I have been unable to track down, so I wonder if this is a neighbors TV.

I have a SONY flat screen TV that puts out lots of RF noise on 144.39mhz
when it is on Channel 17(cable)

I had to move my APRS antenna WAY out in the back yard to reduce the noise.

Or stop watching FOX NEWS.

Gary,

Contact Pioneer directly with your model number.   I understand that
they have a kit to help that.    But you may not get rid of it all
until the set is replaced.   Plasma TVs are real noise generators..

     Anyone got any good ideas about how to stop RF noise from coming
     from a plasma TV- seems worst on 75 meter band.

     I have two plasma TVs, and one gives out no noise, but the other
     one causes substantial RF noise.    The one that causes the noise
     is a Pioneer with the TV operated by a separate controller box.
      I have put ferrite chokes all over the place, but still the noise.

     Getting rid of the TV is not an option, and telling my wife to
     turn it off does not go over real well.
