[Elecraft] OT Apple Airport Extreme RFI

[Robert Nobis]

James,

I have an Airport Extreme, with no issues.  Mine is plugged into a separate AC power outlet through a filter/surge protector. Also I have the Airport Extreme power lead looped through a snap-on  ferrite core.

You might want to review Jim Brown’s (K9YC) tutorial on RFI:  http://www.k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf
