At HF most of the interference you're going to get from box to box is
either conducted along some wires connecting them or radiated by some large metallic structure (the power cord, the house wiring, etc) that is connected to wires coming out of the boxes and then picked up by the antenna. Although Roy has excellent points about what you need to do to get solid EMI shielding, you can do a lot without plugging the holes in the boxes. Reg is right about the first step. Do you need extra measures at all? The second step is plugging the BIG leaks, which would involve doing things like filtering the unshielded cables coming in and out of things (ferrites on the power cord, for example). Your boxes already have some shielding by virtue of the fact that they're in metal enclosures (I assume). If you are having problems with, say, a switching PSU and you think it's leaking in to the tuner, try this. Replace the antenna and feedline with a good, shielded dummy load. Then see if there's any change in the noise in your RX between setting the PSU on the tuner and setting it elsewhere. Dan |
