SV: [PCR-1000] Interference from PC running DOS vs running Windows

[Kim Pettersson]

I'd say it is your monitor or monitor cable thats radiating more when =
windoze kicks in with more graphic intense applications. Try by booting =
up windoze, then swictch off the monitor and remove the monitor cable, =
also unplug the mains cable. If you are lucky, you diagnose the problem =
to the monitor cable. If it is the monitor - too bad. It is not a easy =
task to undo a sloppy construction. Usually the best thing is to move =
antenna and radios as far away from computers as possible. With the PCR =
it is easy to make longer cables for rs-232 and audio.
