Re: [PLUG] picking up radio interference

["eric@lucii.org" <eric@lucii.org>]

Ok, that's good. :-P  You've narrowed it down, probably to the wire
that leads from the output of the sound card to the speakers.  
That is the part that is most likely to act as an antenna and conduct
the radio signal into the speaker amplifier.  Alternatively, it may be
the speaker amplifier itself (are the speakers ampified?).  

What kind of radio is your neighbor using?  Is he a amatuer operator
or just running a "CB" rig?  He may be over his power limit.
Your computer equipment may have to accept any interference that
it receives but this would only apply to LEGAL power levels... if
he's illegal then it's up to him to clean up his act.

Good luck.
