hi
I remember not too long ago fellow hams were polite and helpful
don't be discouraged
Bob, I don't use satpc32, but it might help if you specify if the problem occurs strictly when you start satpc or you get the noise when the computer is on (regardless of running satpc)
if the problem should occur when you turn on the pc, it is not uncommon for pc's to throw out a lot of noise
disconnect any cables going from the rig to the pc does the noise still occur?
if it does you have to experiment a bit to see if you can eliminate the noise, you might have to try to buy a ac filter for the pc array solutions makes one.
you may also have to try putting ferrits (http://www.dxengineering.com/Products.asp?ID=182&SecID=152&DeptID=42 ) on the cabling for your rig
you might want to google around and search the ARRL web site on trying to mitigate pc noise, ultimately you may have to move the pc
feel free to email me directly off the list i am not expert but will try to help you

Hello-When I start up satpc32 on my Dell computer I get this annoying qrn hiss on 2M. Any simple fixes short of moving the computer further away? It is from the computer not the monitor.
