I have noticed my new wire antenna in the attic is much more efficient.
On digital modes one of my smoke detectors is set off by the RF. It is one that is wired I believe to the security system. Would a simple fix be to yank it and get a toroid around the the power/comm lines? I also have a screw in motion light in the utility room that when I am on digital the light kicks on. Not as important though as making sure my wife stays asleep. |

I have under-counter lights in the corner of the garage where the ham shack is. On CW the lights flicker and the ceiling speakers in the living room repeat every dit. Not planning on fixing it as it gives that much needed "Mad Scientist" air to the place.
On 6m the stereo in FM picks up the SSB. Donald Duck as background vocals to jazz doesn't work well. Plan to install a high pass filter to fix that. |

Quoted:
The smoke detectors are hard wired so when one goes they all alarm. I also have one smoke detector that is part of the ADT security system. I think the one in question is just hardwired not the ADT one. I need to rip it off and see whats what. Those are what I was thinking of. Usually wired with 12/3 romex. The traveller is actually a LV line as I desribed above. You may have to shield the wring leading to the smoke detector. |
