Re: [HCDX] Technical question

Hi,

Thanks for the answers.

Yes, Im gonna endoss that, got a few ferrite rings from Maplin, and it 
really makes a difference.

Been finally able to listen to an entire football match on RDP 
(Portugueses radio, Im in Ireland's east coast) with no interruptions 
and clear, noiseless reception, most of the time hitting the maximum 
strength, never had that before on that same room with that same antenna.

Shame was that match the hungarian player died in the pitch ;)

The computer (a PC) when turned on seem to still give some interference, 
the Mac much less. The antenna is positioned 3 metters from them, cant 
position it further. Any hints on reducing the interference from the 
computers ?



Thanks again !
