[Elecraft] Noise, RFI ?

[Amateur Radio Operator N5GE]

In my case, I walked next door and explained that his Plasma TV was
interfering with my radio reception.  I then asked him to come to my
shack to see what the problem was.  I showed him the signal from the
PTV on my monitor which is connected to the P3 and asked if we could
go to his home and turn the PTV off, which we did.

Upon returning to my shack I showed him that the signal was gone.

After explaining what was hapening I handed him the ARRL RFI book and
showed him the part where it said that removing interference from
appliances was the duty of the owner and told him about how nasty
PTV's are and suggested he take the book home and read it.

I then asked him if he was experiencing interference from my radio
transmitter, to which he replied no.

Problem solved.
