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

[Bob Nielsen]

I had a Vizio 46" plasma TV which seemed to be pretty quiet.  It was less than 10 feet from my K2 and TS-570 (my vertical antenna is about 60 feet away).  Unfortunately it died after about 4 years and was replaced by a LCD  model.  Vizio no longer makes plasma sets.
