Re: SpeedTouch 516 Tweaking :)
Hi,
As you can imagine, i'd have installed a few large
toroïd cores on the wiring next to my MoDem before
considering to pass the line through grounded iron
tubes and/or metal sleeves. It's unclear where to
get fancy electronic parts these days, perhaps the
automobile industry has what i need under the form
of a sub-woofer inductor but this is a wild guess;
maybe i just need to disassemble some of a few old
monitors which i've stacked in a corner, they were
built to last so i suppose such quality components
might be waiting for me inside. Québec happens to
be a de-industrialized zone, the population around
here has to be creative!... In any case, if radio
construction is required after two kilometers then
i expect manufacturers to implement it themselves!
In the meantime, i'll search what i can recycle as
i doubt The Source (Radio-Shack) still carries the
kind of HardWare you showed us on the photographs.
If only a helicoïdal notch filter could work here,
euh... Ground? Can you explain how to use it?...
I shielded whatever could be so the next step will
be to put the SpeedTouch inside some metal casing,
which i'm not even certain would cure the kitchen-
generated noise since i don't know how it's acting
to begin with. Franchement, vive la twisted pair!

But don't buy Tores for VHF ore higher. They won't work.
Well, I suppose, not sure, that the metal case of the 546 is grounded somewhere to the negative point of the power supply.??
If not, the case does shield nothing. When I speak about good copper wire, I was referring to Amateur Radio (mine F2zv since 1961), when using power rigs and long antennas close to the aerial telephone lines. (Stationery waves).
I will be back tomorrow morning. It's time for dinner and can't come back later. 
Have a nice day |

Hi Bicephale,
Your profile doesn't say where you are located in Quebec, but if you are close to either Ottawa or Montreal, you could get those "ferrite" parts (and a full complement of electronic parts) at Active stores. See link included »www.active123.com/b2c/redirect.c···2RN2-R62
They also have other "ferrites" parts. Just enter "ferrite" in their search engine.
