I have the radio station grounded and it seems that when ever I'm on the radio I come over the neighbors stereo. Not their T.V. but their stereo only. What can I do to stop this anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Hollowpoint445 he doesn't use an antenna, but it doesn't come through our stereo out the nieghbors right next door or acrossed the street. he's about four houses down. But I will look into the ferrite beads
Bruce I asssume thats what you were talking about is the ferrite beads?
If not let me know and I'll look into any suggestions you might have.
Thanks guys

It's a big square boombox type of stereo, so I guess it has an antenna, but I didn't notice it, and I didn't bother to ask. But it is a pretty old Sony CD with Phono and AM/FM Stereo. not sure what type antenna it has, but like you said it has to have something. I have an old B&W TVI filter but hate to put it in line because it raises the SWR so much. |

bob the filter will not rase your SWR and its the BOOMBOXES fault. Now unless your producing a 3rd harmoric near the fm band its got to be audio rectication and if this box dosnt use external speakers you have no way to fix it. Another thing is see if it has a Part 15 label some say that the device must except interferance .... NOW installing a filter on your end (installed after your amp )with your SWR meter between the filter and antenna will never hurt. |

I would buy a bunch of RF chokes and put them on everything connected to that stereo of his. Also, you don't mention whether you have a low pass filter on YOUR equipment or not. Recommend that also. Lastly, I would ask him if you could "borrow" his stereo to do some testing at your staion with different approaches for resolving the trouble. It is strange it is only him? Buy him a new one with better filtering???  Hey! I'm just thinking out loud here.... |

I agree with all of the above suggestions,however I'd go with Ferrite cores versus beads. Speaker cables are GREAT antennas and once they get any RF to the amplifier, its all toast. Try winding the speaker cables around the core..and get a good size core or your just wasting you time. Something you can get at least 6 turns around, all contingent upon what the gage of speaker wire your dealing with. |

Bruce he does have seperate speakers. It's a pretty nice old stereo, not great, and I think he said it was made in 1986.
Hollowpoint445 As far as a high pass filter goes no. I have the B&W TVI filter but it raises my SWR from under 1.1.1 to over 1.5.1. So from what I see here there must be something wrong with my filter. I'll check out the site you listed
Ca346 It might be worth it to buy him a new stereo just to keep him happy. But anyway it is strange it's only him. I mean we have two stereos one upstairs that does get interference when I run the radio on high power. But it's right next to the wall from the antenna and it's about 14 years old. Then the new one down stairs thats only a year or so old and the radio doesn't bother it at all.
The folks next door said they have never had a problem and the people across the street only complained when I was running about 600 watts on a radio with the audio wide open.
My new setup is just a Copper tuned RCI 2970DX with a Turner Super Sidekick, on an I-Max 2000 antenna.
Maybe the high pass filter would do the trick since there seems to be something wrong with my B&W. |

Under 1.1/1 match ? thats hard to beleve just rain on your antenna would change that however that said 1.5/1 swr is about right for a filter that is only 4% loss .... that filter is doing exactly what it was made to do. Put beads on the speaker wires just where they exit the box. Now these kinda things can get nasty i got into a fight back in the 70's ( when i lived in Largo ) with a guy next door who my 6 meter KW into a 4 elm beam ate his stereo up. He called the FCC in Tampa and they rased hell with me ( thinking i was a cb user ) and after i was cleared and he was told go fix it he was not a happy camper. He cut the guy wires to one of my antennas causing it to fall and was witnessed by another man who called the Sheriff office and they arested him........YEP he got to tell the JUDGE... it got nasty from there .... sadly he worked for a electronics company as a ELECTRONIC TECH and should have easly fixed this on his own but i won that one. Interesting that the FCC had told him to get Beads and put them on all his inputs / outputs to the amp...... and he flat told them he would not! Remember it's always the radio guys fault! |

Well it was raining on and off yesterday, but the SWR is still between 1.1.1 and 1.0.1. The ground is still wet though and I'm sure no expert. I just hope it stays as low as possible. I'm thinking that with the 2970DX tuned it needs as low an SWR as possible.
I really don't want any wars over here, and I will do what needs to be done.
Hollowpoint445 he says it comes over his CD too, so RF chokes will take care of the issue? Are those the little ferrite rings? Excuse my ignorance, but I haven't been in radio very long. Just a couple of years now and then back in the 70's. Back the When I had a TVI problem I used a TVI filter and that was about all it took. But it was only coming over the neighbors T.V. This stereo thing is a drag because he listens to his stereo all the time and doesn't work. It doesn't come over his T.V. either, just his stereo. |

I'm lucky in the fact that most people around here don't even know what CB is really. I'm the only person with a CB for miles, except for the truckers that is. But I learned a loooooong time ago that all a neighbor has to do is see you put up a CB antenna, and the complaining starts non-stop. When I have people ask me what my A99 is for, I tell them I use it as an FM antenna for my stereo, and a antenna for my scanner. Cuts the c*ap right there. And I NEVER EVER tell anyone I have a CB at all. I have lived here for 5 years, and have never heard of anyone complaining of TVI etc. But I can quarantee that if these Yahoo's knew my base antenna was for CB, the B*tching would start. These people around here have no life of their own, so they have to mind everyone elses bussiness. |

DIRECTLY FROM THE FCC
Intresting SWR reading I wonder how it stays that low however there is nothing wrong with your filter. As for this problem try the beads on both speaker leads. Now as for the law here is what the FCC says about home stereos and other part 15 devices ......
Equipment Authorization FAQs
Labeling requirement in 47 CFR 15.19 indicate that a Part 15 device must not cause harmful interference and must accept interference.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Question: Please explain exactly what the second part of this means? And please include an example of a design feature that would be prohibited by the second part of this statement?
Answer: You ask why our label (required in 47 CFR 15.19) indicates that a Part 15 device must accept interference. This refers to the fact that Part 15 devices are unlicensed and operate under a sufferance basis. As such the device is not protected against interference and the parties operating such a device can not seek redress from parties operating radio communication services. In other words they do not get protection from interference and thus must accept interference. Because of this, any part 15 device should be designed to operate robustly under all conditions.

Cuddlebear I know what your saying one of the neighbors has a satalite Dish Network system and he was saying that I came over his T.V. a couple of times. He couldn't pinpoint the time but said he's heard me once or twice.
Bruce I don't know if the SWR will stay that low. right now it has come up just a little but is at or just under the 1.1.1 mark. Before it was in the middle between 1.1.1 and 1.0.1. So I don't know how high it might go, but it's been dry today and is still hanging in there. I've used the PDC-600 then two Rat Shack SWR meters checking it out, and they all say about the same thing.
Also I'm glad to see that he really can't cause much trouble, but as you know we need to try and keeep the peace.
Hollowpoint445 thanks for the info on the ferrite beads/chokes. I hate to ask but does Copper sell them? I know HRO does, but was just wondering.
Thanks again to you all

Bob,
I would have to say the guy is full of it. Sorry, but the fact is that the two are not even remotely compatible frequency wise. I myself have DirecTV, and my dish is less than 20 feet from the radiator of the antenna. Now, lets face it. The A99 is known for some bleed over. Of this, I do not dispute. But I have NEVER seen any TVI come over it on any channel. And I won't lie when I say I tested a friends amp once. It was a 1000 watt amp. Now, I didn't push that much actually, but I will say that it was well over 600. With my TV on, and sat on, we talked for 10 minutes on it. With not so much as 1 line of TVI on my set. I spoke to several engineers at DirecTV who said there was no way the dish could pick it up due to the fact that they were different spectrums. But these people see an antenna an poof! they just have to start something. If he ever told me that, I would have to have him prove it to me. I would have to see it to believes it. |

Cuddlebear that's just the way I feel it just doesn’t make any sense. Anyway it was actually the neighbor’s wife. I think she was just talking because they have never complained to me until I asked if I had ever come over their T.V. or stereo, or if they had any problems with interference from my radio he said no, but his wife said she thought she heard my voice once or twice on her T.V. so I don't buy it.
By the way I have asked all of the neighbors and no one other than the guy with the stereo has ever had an issue and I do believe him and don't want him upset. So I will get a hold of those ferrite beads and take them over to his place.

Bruce thanks I'll call today and get the ball rolling
Thanks again to everyone I appreciate the help. I had heard of ferrite beads but it was because of FT2800m putting out rf back into itself and was told to put ferrite beads on the micraphone cable. A far stretch from the guys stereo.

Whoops I spoke too soon. I asked the neighbors about coming over their T.V. again and they said they can just barely hear a voice when I transmit on high power. So I am hoping that one of the snap together beads that Palomar sold me will take care of the problem. Even though he said it wasn't really a problem I'm sure everyone would agree you want to keep everyone as happy as possible.
I just hope the ferrite bead on the power cable does the trick, because his speaker is built into his T.V.
Thanks again for everyones help

It's not your regular TVI. The picture stays clear, but when I put the RCI up 150 watts they can hear what sounds a faint reverberating voice coming over their T.V. speaker. They can't make it out and it's not all that noticable. But if they can hear it it ain't right.
I have just ordered a new Low Pass filter from Copper. But the beads will be here in a day or two so I will post the results with just the beads asap.

Audio rectification is my guess if they are using a outside antenna try a high pass filter on the antenna terminals. you also can try a bead where the coax comes in the TV |

They use a satalite system but I ordered two high pass filters from Radio Shack. I hope they're good enough to handle the job. But I also have the snap on beads that cover the power cord to the T.V. coming in the next day or so. I bought a second high pass just in case, they are only $6.00 each so..
Thanks and I'll keep you guys posted on whats going on. |

Bruce I have the neighbors T.V. speaker problem cleared up. It just took a 1/4" snap together ferrite bead. But the Stereo is not going well. I put a bead on the stereo, had him wrap his speaker wires through toroid rings and still no good. I have a high pass filter to put on his antenna, but had to go to Radio Shack to get a converter since his magnavox 4 channel surround system uses a flat wire type antenna, and when I got back he wasn't home. But at this point I doubt it will do any good anyway. This is really a junker stereo. I think it would be easier to just buy him a new stereo as mentioned above. |

Keep your recepts for anything you have bought.
One thing the FCC will ask for is what have you done to fix the problem you have done your part.
You are / have done the right thing it is smart to try and fix a problem like this.
YEARS AGO the FCC would give the operator " QUITE HOURS " you had to stay off your radio from 6pm to 11pm but a PART 15 device HAS NO PROTECTION.
But how far must you go? HE IS IN THE WRONG.
The Stereo should have a tag clearly showing that it falls under the MUST EXCEPT INTERFERENCE rule.
AS FOR BUYING HIM A STEREO LEAGALY THIS IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM. If you feel that it might work there is no law AGAINST doing that it just not a REQUIREMENT give it a try. Worst yet and i hate to see you get draged in this deep you will probley only trade it for one you PAIDED for. Try the highpass filter and at that point i can't see what good you do to fix the problem. This person has to understand his problem is not with you its with the people who made his stereo ..... fat chance they will help.
I've BEEN THERE DONE THAT....... 6 years from 1973-1979 and it got NASTY.....He started to cut my antennas down i got him JAILED ....The FCC jumped on ME untill they checked it out then told him to fix it. He even got a layer wanted me OFF THE AIR we went to court I WON. Now 25 years later i have have no problems on ANY of the bands i use.

Thanks Bruce I had to by a converter for the high pass filter, but I will take it over to him today. I can’t find the machine printed receipts for the Toroids and beads, but have a hand written receipt with Palomar Engineers stamped on it. I do have the receipts for the high pass filters though.
I also told him about the part 15 tags and he agreed that he saw it, and even said it’s probably because his stereo is so old. But he still wants it fixed? So today I will try the high pass filter, but don’t have much hope it will work.
He lives in a small house in back of his Fathers house up here. I don’t bother his fathers equipment but…
Anyway his father was being pretty cool and said he could take my antenna and put it up on the top of a tree for the right price. He works for the Forrest Service up here and said he climbs trees all the time. I told him it might help take care of the problem with his son and he said he would think about how much he would want to put it securely at the top of a 100-foot lodge pole pine tree. The only thing is he says he would use a piece of wood and strap that to the tree and then mount the antenna on that so as not to cause damage to the tree.

Here's an update on the ongoing problem of coming over the neighbor’s stereo. I bought the filters, both the beads, and the ferrite rings for the speaker wires, and it turns out that he still hears me over the stereo. He came over here on Saturday with a video camera and was video taping me as he was complaining about my coming over his stereo. I told him that I don't bother anyone else in the area, and that I've done all I could do to help him.
But in the mean time as a last resort I have purchased the GPK for the I-Max to try and put an end to it.
I was coming over his stereo with the radio putting out between 1-5 watts rms on SSB. With the mic. turned down to below the first notch, and the mic. gain turned down on the radio to about 1/4 since the guy I was talking to was less than 2 miles away.
I just could not believe that I was coming over his stereo with the radio turned down that low, and was more than a little p***** off because he was video taping me like that.
Anyway all I can do is hope the GPK will stop the interference and put an end to this nonsense. Mean time I’m working on the code and hoping I will be ready to take the test in on the 20th so I will be able to use my 2970DX without worrying that he might call the police.

Hummmmm TAPEING
did you tell him to turn it off????
Whats his point call the FCC SUE you ? both are unlikely. BOB if he keeps this up you know what you have .... someone out to get what he wants what ever that might be and do it at your EXPENSE. NOW as for calling cops DO YOU HAVE A NUSANCE LAW ???? go check into that most nusance laws have been used to harrass hams and cb'ers but few will stand up in court. UNLESS it complys with the FCC exsemption for illeagal stations. Now go get that license and crank it up to the leagal lmit on 10 meters and and i'll join you in a little song of " HERE'S PART 15 NOW GO ( PLACE ) IT " ...... i'll let your mind take over ......

Thanks for responding Bruce
I told him “ I see your video taping this what’s that about? He said "It was a tape he was making for just getting to know your neighbor in our town" I told him I didn't appreciate it that he was video taping me as he was complaining, and that it was odd that no one else in the area, on the block behind or anywhere on our block has a problem. I then told him I've done everything I can do, I've given you filters and that I am a licensed ham and so if he has a problem to call the police. (I was a little ticked by then).
He said he didn't want to do that but he did stop video taping me when I was saying that none of the neighbors had a problem but him. He then asked if I would hire him to move the antenna up a tree and I told him no the antenna is fine where it is, and again I've done more than is required by law to help with his stereo interference, and that the neighbor between the two of us was in his yard playing a boom box while doing yard work and I was talking on the radio and he couldn’t hear me. He then said he would try the filters again and left. But I haven’t been on the radio since, and am doing about 94% on the test in Code plus at 5wpm. So I hope I’m ready by the 20th. Because Europe has been coming in out here in Southern California, and the next test after Nov. 20, is Dec 18th.

Bob .....
SO YOU REFUSED HIS NON REQUEST ....
"It was a tape he was making for just getting to know your neighbor in our town" I told him I didn't appreciate it that he was video taping me "
Well not what he wanted to hear!
" he did stop video taping me when I was saying that none of the neighbors had a problem but him. "
This guy has talked to a lawyer. From some reason lawyers think they can sue for anything and are willing to try. Here in Florida you cannot tape film or record EXCEPT in a public place and he should have asked for your concent BEFORE he even started. I wrote short stories for several local papers and BEFORE you did anything which a name could be attached to you had to have a release AGAIN dosn't apply to public places. Your home is not a public place.
This guy is a sickie and i think unless he is told otherwise he is probly not done yet. |

Bruce I think your right he is a nut! Thats why I really want to get the code asap. I'm doing about 94% at 5wpm as of Nov 10 and have the test sceduled for Nov. 20th.
I've decided to make sure they're not home when I get on the radio now, and honestly hope the GPK does take care of the problem, but I can't think of anything else I can do to help him, and again that last trick really got to me.
If he had asked me to get off the radio because I was causing interference there would never have been a problem. But to come over with a video camera and go through all that was a load.
Anyway I've done all I could do to keep out of his stereo and am hoping that I can pass the CW on the 20th and then if I have to I'll have a restraining order placed on him.

The antenna works pretty well where it is. |

Hey ask them for a audio check !!!!! HE HE HE
or act like a radio anouncer and tell him he has won 3,000 bucks if he calls the radio station !!!! LOL
I kinda like the cb smashing my stereo on the tape setting cause you can crank it up and wake the kids up real fast !!!! HE HE HE
or if someone tells you you mic is breaking up you can always turn the stereo on to check it !!!!
but the only thing i do gt into is older stereo's and older PA's at churches !!!
but i did get into alot more before i found my bad conection on the sheild on a jumper !!!
after i fixed it i dont mess with anything other than my old stereo and the minonights PA at there church !! (and the church is only with the power on )
but it is my 3 cent !!! LOL

Bob,Gator is on the right track.if the nieghbor is still complaining have him make a tape of your "alleged" interference.Just tell him it would help you identify what part of your system is causing the problem.my bet is he wont produce a tape!also have you shown him the part 15 sticker on back of his stereo,the part about accepting hahmful interference? |

Dindin the tape idea might not be a bad idea. But the tag on his stereo was not there when I looked at his old 1970's stereo. I haven't seen his new stereo, or even if he really has one installed yet. I do know that I don't come over my stereo downstairs, or the boom box in the kitchen, I do come over the stereo upstairs right beneath the antenna. But this guys house is about 200 feet away from my house.
I got the ground plane kit for the I-Max today, and am going to have to find help getting it up, but I'm hoping that will put an end to the whole issue. I won't be on the radio until Saturday, and by then I'm hoping I will have passed the code so I can really quit worrying about it all together then.
That Video camera thing was just too much, I really lost it then.
BTW I have checked all my jumpers and coax, and everything there is ok.
Thanks again

Dindin if the guy has one of them cheep Walmart RCA stereos the cb will still come over it too
but i noticed on the rca is it will pick up about every radio within a mile from my house !
so i think it is something RCA needs to look into this problem !!!
