There are three effective solutions that surgically remove that noise forever. There's no NB/NR effective... WiMo QRM Eliminator, MFJ 1026 Noise Canceller, TimeWave ANC-4, all derived from the S.E.M. QRM Eliminator, originally manufacured in the Isle of Man, UK.

They superimpose the noise captured from a pick-Up antenna rotated by 180° to the original antenna signal and wipe it out completely.

I use it daily and my life got really better, getting rid of ANY Human-Made QRM/Noise !!

@ciucciofrullo A noise canceler helps a lot. But only until some other neighbour buys a Plasma TV..

Take a look at /watch?v=DOhCuQxmctQ for a demonstration on mediumwave.Band.

@toftyon Ok, fair enough.

My biggest concern is P.L.T devices causing major interference and the new more powerful versions coming out soon.

[toftyon]

@26highstreet I agree, there are a small percentage who still use valve rigs, but the vast majority use solid state gear, which is very efficient. The worst valve users are the barmy golden ear Hi Fi brigade, but the less said about them the better.

Regarding " Talking to a stranger", I would rather be doing that than having my brain confused by the diabolical trash spewed out as, so called, entertainment by the TV providers.

P.S. I don't drive, so exhaust fumes do not apply.

@toftyon To be honest power hungry radios are way out of date really, the power required to run one of those old valve hf rigs and a linear just to talk to a stranger is bizzare to say the least.

Plasma sets have better picture quality and wider viewing angles than lcd.

Would you be happy do go to work on a 50cc 120mpg moped? or some gas guzzling big engine car designed to take 4 people and all there luggage on a long trip. i am more concerned about exhaust fumes the magnetic fields

@26highstreet I think it is time plasma sets were taken off the market. Just because the owner of one of these pays for a licence does not mean he, or she, has the permission to generate gross electromagnetic interference with it. They are old technology and power hungry, look at all those fans in the back. With LED screens on the market ther is no excuse to continue with trhese dinosaurs.

[26highstreet]

People pay a licence fee to watch television and to be honest, Plasma sets have much better colour reproduction, richer and darker blacks compared with an LCD set.

Hams pay no licence fee so hardly have a right to complain, same with those plug in broadband adapters, You can call out the boys but it's unlikely anything will be done.

Where i live most of the H.F spectrum is wiped out by noise, and it carries on right up to around 50mhz.. Wont be long before 2 meters is also killed off

Follow on Ofcom visited today a team of four !!! checked the plasma TV that is giving me all the trouble after 40minuets i was told that it comply s to the EMC directive and there isn't anything i can do .They are are a waste of time if you are in close proximity of any Rf radiating plasma TV and your radio is almost rendered unless smile as there is noting you can do about it i have decided to run full 400w power from now on see what that will do.Give them back a little of what I get
