This never worked for me. It has always been like I am hooking my
receiver to a white noise source which leaks some signals onto the
noise. Some of these signals being stronger, some weaker, than the noise
source.
Just for the heck of it, I hooked up an old dx390. The noise was
ridiculous. But then, I now live in an area where all the lines are
underground. And, when I think about it, I must be hooking up that
receiver to hundreds, if not thousands of
routers/switches/faxes/print-servers/etc.
So, I went and quickly bread boarded a high-voltage isolator which would
pass rf and hooked it up to my powerline. It was even worse ...
Where do all these people live which can make use of these lines?
