Dear All,

 

As a precaution I wound the phone and power leads to my old ADSL netgear 834WG router on to separate red ferrite rings and have also used the big clamp on ferrites too and it sits quite happily with RF, even when I have the TL922 on at legal limit.  It my /A QTH in NI I have a Sky broadband router and that’s in the same room as the atu/balun and end of my long wire, so far from ideal in terms of RF good practice, this too is fine with 100W out from my TS570 except on 40m and topband where the ATU seems to struggle and so mismatch is causing some interference which drops the ADSL.  

 

For me I use the ferrite winding pattern as is oft described in the RSGB tomes.

 

Curiously, ferrites did not cure my very noisy APC UPS (1000W unit) and this renders 1 to 30MHz unuseable as a cacophony of bubbles and squeals migrates up and down numerous simultaneous 5MHz segments.    My 700W version of the APC is fine.

 

Hey ho

 

With best to all
