After several months of just not listening to my 2 meter base station, I
finally took time to find the source of the interference that held the
squelch open on the repeater channel I listen to most often. Turned out
it
was my Dlink DI-604 router. I borrowed a Linksys NR-041 router from my
neighbor and it works a little better. I can now listen to the 145.390
repeater, not because the Linksys puts out no RFI, but only because it
puts
it out in a different place (mostly in the 146.46-146.58 range). I will
probably invest in a newer router, probably wireless. Question I have is
does anyone have any experience with the new breed of wireless routers
that
are reasonable clean in the RFI/2 meter spectrum? Thanks.



No, a 604 is a wired router, I would suspect it is a poorly wired or bad
cable
that is a multiple wavelength of that particular frequency... I use the
604
( non print server ) and 614 ( print server ) routers with no problems at
all.

Remember that D-Link (and Linksys) will change the hardware chipsets within
a model number. For example, one product has 5 different chipsets /
versions depending upon version number and serial numbers on bar code of
product -- SO a clean model may be a different version from a dirty RF one!
