We are seeking to establish a standard for a digital "network" style system to handle emergency communications. We have established certain standards we are looking to follow. The mode/protocol/package etc. should be based on weak signal HF capability. The mode/protocol/package should be able to h

At the risk of stirring an unwanted debate, I for one DO consider repeated "join requests" as SPAM. Why? Mark has repeatedly joined other "related" groups and immediately started gathering names from that group to solicit memberships in his group. I do know, from personal experience, that there hav

Each of the devices you mention gets power through a separate cable and can mechanically operate regardless of the motherboard status. If the motherboard is not getting power, the onboard video w

Ron, as a semi direct answer to your question, as a general rule cable tv frequencies typically are well above hf radio. It is not impossible for there to be interference, but generally it will be some other source. One thing to remember with most cable systems is that the line and trunk amps n

By chance is the HP 1.6 gHz compter a laptop? If so, try unplugging the power adapter while the noise is being generated or when it is bothering your receiver. If that is not the problem, do you have an external monitor running? If so, try turning off just the monitor while you are seeing the p
