[Elecraft] Plasma TV Noise any ideas on how to filter it out.

[Phil Daniells, GJ4CBQ]

Panasonic stuff isn't all bad!

We have two Panasonic LCD TV's here.  Both have very good pictures and 
neither is a QRM generator.

Whilst I understand the motivation to boycott their products, I feel 
that giving the vote of confidence to their RF quiet products in 
preference to their heavily promoted, noisy, devices still sends an 
appropriate message to Panasonic.

A few months back their website was running an article that actively 
encouraged consumers to purchase Plasma instead of LCD TV's by massively 
downplaying the drawbacks of Plasma.  Strangely there was no mention of QRM!

I guess you might know this, Stewart.  Are there ANY quiet Plasma TV's 
out there?

To get back vaguely on topic, the combination of K3 and LP-Pan displays 
a very distinctive signature for Plasma TV's.  Fortunately there aren't 
too many of them round here, they're not too loud and they're rarely all 
on at the same time.  Rather than filtering, I find the best defence is 
the MFJ-1025.  It cancels the Plasma QRM every time.

73,

Phil, GJ4CBQ.
