It's not because it's too close! There is another thread on here somewhere when one member got radio interference from his car radio about 150 ft awway from his shop. I'll try to find it and post a link.

Here's the link of that thread. http://www.shopsmith.net/forums/showthr ... terference

I have enough interference that I can't listen to the radio while the PP is running. If I ever figure out a solution I'll post about it. However, that's not one of my top priorities right now. Having way too much fun running the PP to bother trying to find the cause of the problem. Called Shopsmith a while back and they didn't have a ready solution either.

Radio Interference from PP

Post by allsas »

Radio interference was on FM 94.9. But PP and radio were plugged into the same outlet.

Maybe theRFI Choke is the answer? Because the interference is on FM and at a different broadcast frequency than the other reports. Thanks for the suggestion FLA_Jim.


>>>So my curiosity requires I ask, just how much damage did you do with the hammer before discovering the easy solution? Jim
