Try not to run transistors in the house they seem to come over stuff alot more than tubes.

I paid out to get a Kenwood 1KW low pass filter, can run 100 watts on SSB all day with no complaints of TVI :D

king mudduck said it first I think. Stay away from transistor amps in the home, also fiberglass antennas are notorious for causing TVI. If possible use a radio that's not over-modulating and you should have no problems with your neighbors.

i used to run a Palomar 500 in the house and it would bleed any one within a 5mile radius. after it blew up i re tubed mt old maco 750 and threw it in line. 100 swinging 900 with no interference at all. but i do have my interceptor up on a 50ft tower with 20 foot of pipe on top. well grounded,my radio and rack gear is grounded as well. maybe i just got good luck?? ...j.s

was gettin on my neighbors cheap TV, I offered to split the cost of a NEW GOOD one.
Offered to open it and put filters in line with speakers. No doin.
He's a @#%! head. He tried to get Petition on me..NO Way, other neighbors like me. I am a HAM..Nobody but him and his cheap TV is bothered, unless I pump it ALL the way up. Don't do that til later a night...

There is always a **Censored** neck in the bunch. I had one in the development we lived in, a real winner this **Censored** was, evryone else was happy with the filters, advice, and help I offered. But not this **Censored**. Tried to it into something worse than an election year mudslinging event mixed with a lil wwf mixed in.

The police never done anything to me, but did arrest the **Censored** . Turns out he was upset / paranoid, whatever because I was coming in over his cheap wireless baby monitor he had set up in his makeshift meth lab.
