subject: RFI

JS>I am causing interference to a Sony Play-Station, whilst only on 50Watts @
JS>10meters in SSB mode.  Now, I have done every thing in my power to reduce
JS>interference by purchasing TVI filters for the effected Televisions, which
JS>has reduced the interference to nul.  However, I still manage to 'crash' 
r
JS>lock up their Play Station games Console.
JS>The question is...Since the Sony Play Station is made of plastic and has 
o
JS>chance of suppressing RFI as there is no metal case or any shielding what 
so
JS>ever, is it therefore the owners responsibility to shield the effected
JS>device?
JS>I am currently forced to use only 10Watts due to this annoying problem, so 
i
JS>any suggestions can be brought forward or someone can tell me that I have 
th
JS>right to tell them where to go.
JS>I have checked and double checked my equipment and I don't interfere with 
an
JS>other neighbor or in fact my own equipment apart from my phones in the 
house
JS>but this is due to the fact that they use pre-amps as standard BT
JS>(British Telecom) phones are untouched.
JS>I can't stand it when all the technical knowhow in the world won't cure a
JS>simple RFI problem and believe me...I've tried them all!!!
JS>There is only one thing left that may reduce the interference and that 
would
JS>be to raise my antenna a little higher as currently it is (at base) 30 
oot
JS>which is approx. 10 foot higher than the location of the Play Station.  
he
JS>most I can raise it to would be 40 foot as this is not my house and it 
ook
JS>great deal of pursuading to get it where it is.
JS>Cheers in advance.
JS>73, John.
JS>Ciao for now.
