computer modem problem
Greetings, fellow amateurs.
I realise that this question is not about amateur radio digital but you may be able to give me some directivity... I have been trying to get back into amateur radio for the past year and am having a great deal of problems with my computer high speed modem. Today I connected my hf radio to my outdoor antenna, random wire, and the s meter was reading about mid scale.... s7 ish. I unplugged my highspeed modem and the s meter went down to about s 1. S 1 being atmospheric noise, I assume.. Does anyone know how to get rid of the modem noise? without disconnecting it.... Larry ve3fxq p.s. I have not contacted rogers, as yet, but plan to soon.... |

My modem use to only cause noise when it was idle. When I connected to
internet the noise dropped.. Tried a toroid in the power line and that reduced it 90%. Didnt try anything further because I went to DSL. I'd suspect a bit of bypassing around the power input would help. Cheers Bob VK2YQA larry wrote: Greetings, fellow amateurs.
