[Moon-Net] Ethernet Interference

[Edward R Cole]

Trevor,

A few years ago I tried reducing 2m birdies and tried some clampon 
ferrites with no noticeable improvement, but then I bought some Cat6 
shielded cable jumpers which did help a little.  My main internet 
cable is 25-foot of cat5e from another room that has the router, so 
that might still radiate some.

Most of my birdies were RF from surrounding area coming in antenna cables.

BTW I am using Cat6 shielded cable with my digital angle encoders on 
my eme antennas which eliminates RFI to my digital display.
