Hi Ken, You convinced me - CPU. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC I would think that the likely suspect would be one that does not already have a fan. I followed the signal as it went off freq and faded. It climbed 3 kc on 40m then faded out. -- 73's es gd dx de Ken KGØWX Grid EM17ip, Flying Pigs #1055, List Owner, Yahoo! E-groups: VX-2R & FT-857 |

Do you have a dual CPU system, where one CPU has a fan and the other not? As it appears to be temperature based (the reason why the fan appears to be significant) and CPU based (over clocked for its operating temperature); I would suggest trying to cool the CPU with an aerosol (freeze mist) or one of those cans of air for keyboard cleaning. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

You can use the "canned air" as a freeze mist ("spray cold"), or vice-versa, by inverting the can while you spray. They contain essentially the same stuff, the difference being that the "spray cold" contains a syphon tube to suck liquid up while the "canned air" doesn't. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
