[Elecraft] Monitor noise

[pjhend@ameritech.net]

I'm nearing the end of my rope.......
I've been trying to "noodle through" the problem of horrible noise to my
K2(and other HF rigs) from my Compaq Presario MV500 computer monitor. I
picked up a boatload of snap-on and varried ferrite beads of all shapes
and sizes and installed them on every cable coming in and out of the
computer and monitor and power cables to the radio and computer. There
was no change in the noise which is 7khz wide and appears every 50khz or
so on almost every band. (Also, my radio and computer equipment is
grounded to a ground strap connected to a cold water pipe 4' from my
operating desk. )

It seems that the problem might lie in the design of the monitor, but
I'm trying to avoid buying another one. Has anyone had any success
solving this problem? Or, can anyone recommend a different compatible
monitor that solved their problems?  Any thoughts on the flat-screen
monitors?  I'm quite sure that I'm missing oodles of DX hidden behind
these various "walls of noise" :-)

Thanks!
