Hi Tommyknocker.
I have the monitor and PC on a UPS, and the printer, scanner and sound card
are on the surge protector built into the cabinet with the drawer meant for
the monitor to sit on. I also have similar arrangements for the VCR, DVD and
TV, because they all generate RF that interferes. I can't do anything about
RF from other equipment in the vacinity. the monitor is one particular item
that can cause a lot of interference on sw bands, which is why I have it off
of I want to listen.

When we had our recent silver tahw, I think the city turned of the speed
indicators on the two streets near here, becuase the comoputer generated RF
was almost non existant, and it is back again. Of course so many things can
be coincidence, that it is really difficult to know for sure !

Best Wishes.

So instead of spending $20 on a surge protector, I'm looking at
$120+ for a new printer.

remember when they used to cost ~$1,000 ??
just unplug it when your not using it
