[Elecraft] 14.316 help!

[Fred Jensen]

Mine is at 14317.00 and is moderately weak.  I suspect it is an Ethernet 
signal.  I host and power the local wireless RAP at the top of my tower 
in exchange for free moderate speed i'net.  Several weak constant 
carriers appeared on most bands when they installed it.  I suspect they 
may be harmonics of clocks or local oscillators in the radios, and of 
course, the ubiquitous Ethernet junk.

It could be your neighbors, but since yours is strong, you might try 
shutting down your i'net connections.  If that gets rid of it, wrapping 
the CAT5 and any router/modem power cable[s] through toroid[s] up close 
to the devices might do it for you.
