Re: surge protector/arrester & ethernet switch

[Guest guest]

I detect something with my meter if i go near the Furman and also the Brickwall.

I also get a weaker signal from my cheap APC. MY battery back up gives off the

most.

protector, the USB keyboard will also have frequencies on the AM radio. If my

laptop runs on battery, the frequencies on my keyboard diminish.

cable directly to best pick up whether the frequency is from the wire. Change

the channels, as only certain ones are strongest.

there are any other solutions, e.g., Will ferrite bead on the wire help at all,

or not really?)
