Has anyone had any success in reducing the incredibly
high amount of RF radiated from their Grappler box?
My housemate has one hooked to a Mac and the thing makes most
of the frequencies in my scanner and ham equipment useless,
throwing birdies out all over the place.
I tore it apart with the intent of hanging capacitors
everywhere, but they actually bothered to do some
filtering at the factory. I added a 0.047uF across
the output terminals of the 7805 voltage regulator
for good measure, but the source of the interference
is the execution of the on-board Z8's program.
Please email responses since my feed and my news partition
don't feel well. The clock starts ticking now; if
there is no cure, I'm tempted to Grapple the thing
into the ocean!
