Hey, lucky you! Want to trade? :)
I found one cable that was causing much of the noise--I got it down from about S7 (!!!) to S1-2. Still a ways to go...
What hardware and firmware version are you running? Mine is Version 5 hardware, with current firmware (some silly long number ;-) )
73,
Mark

I have the WRT54G Wireless router and find NO birdies at 145.93 or anywhere in the 145 MHZ range.

I can suggest a couple of things... Internal or external P/S.... Internal, try torroids. external (wall worth) try a different P/S. Use only high quality CAT5E or CAT6 cables. Do not use cheap ones! There is a difference.
WRT54G can be vastly improved by installing the Linux based OS. I have a better signal, lower noise and better security. I am much happier. Worth trying (it will void any warranty).
That is what I can offer. Hope it helps, Will WC2L

Hello all,
The launch of Delfi-C3 has brought to my attention a very strong birdie at 145.930 MHz that clearly comes from the Linksys WRT54G Wireless router that sits in the shack. Forcing the wireless signal to another frequency/channel has no impact whatsoever...
Anybody on the list have a clever solution (other than 'get a different router' or 'move it' or 'shut it off', etc...hi hi) that they may have used for a similar problem?
Thanks,
Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]
