I have 3 of these (Scientific Atlanta IPN330HD) in my new home....each one takes the noise floor on 20m from S2/3 to S9 when plugged in...it takes RF in and puts out HDTV...I had my rig on battery power to eliminate AC as being the path... any recommendations to solve the problem? Thanks Tom Lewis K6IUZ 73 |

From the Marlin P Jones Web site MFG: DELTA P/N: EADP-20DB A Input: 100-240 VAC 50/60Hz Output: 12VDC @ 1.67A For use with Scientific Atlanta Model IPN330HD You might try wrapping the input and output of the adapter through a large toroid to choke of the RF. Alternately, if may be possible to replace the switching supply with a quiet linear supply. But, the noise can also be generated by the set top box, so testing is in order before deciding on a fix.

Thanks Zack...just did a test.... With the: 1) provided wall supply S peaking 9 2) 12vdc AGM battery S peaking 2/3 3) provided wall supply wirh a hefty torroid S peaking 4/5 I am embarrassed to say but I'm shocked...looks like all I need is clean 12vdc... Time to look for a source of linear supplies... Thanks again... 73 |
