This is very true. A typical SVGA copper cable puts out all sorts of
hash (as well as the monitor!). And lotsa junk is radiated and
conducted out by the power supply cable, even for the "best of the
best" PC clone supplies.

I've discovered and/or engineered some workarounds, consisting of going
to optical fiber instead of metal whenever possible. But my converters
are usually outside the PC case so this doesn't completely eliminate
the radiation from copper cabling.

I'm starting to think I should just sit inside the Faraday cage with my
computer, and put all the radios outside!

Tim.

Have you tried unplugging the PC from the mains?
