Title: Interference from new PC
Post by: flyoverfred on June 06, 2024, 07:43:02 PM
Hi folks

I have an SBS1er, an Uputronics ADS-B 1090MHz Filtered Preamplifier (https://thepihut.com/products/ads-b-1090mhz-filtered-preamplifier#product-reviews) and it's been pretty darn good. I've just built a new PC and something is seriously interfering when I turn it on.

Any idea what I need to stop the interference ? Some sort of filter ? If it is a filter, can this be stacked with the Uputronics ?

I've moved the entire set up to another room and it still screws it  :-X

Thanks

Hi,

I have had a very similar problem. Turned out on my end the HDMI connection polluted with spurious signal at 1080MHz.
Unfortunately 1080MHz makes it through and ADS-B filter just fine. The only cure for this is relocating the SBS receiver and antenna away from any computer equipment.
I have an IT room upstairs and I have a much better reception with the SBS receiver placed in the basement.

Apologies, I missed your original post!  I was in France at the time but that's a poor excuse.

How close to the new PC is the SBS-1eR?
