347266 2005-04-21 09:22:00 It is probably radiated noise, not conducted, so filters are unlikely to help. Your computer already has RFI filters installed.

What band are you having problems with, AM or FM? If AM, sometimes reorienting the radio in relation to the computer and/or station can help. The idea is to maximise radio pickup and minimise computer interference. With FM you just move the whip aerial around.

If that doesn't work, the next best solution is to move the radio further away from the computer. Two to three metres is usually enough, but if your reception area is poor you may need to choose a stronger station.

It is ofterrn difficult to identify where a particular fcy is coming from.
First put your radio on a separate mains plug in the same room - if available and as previously advised move radio away from the computer.

If the rf if coming from the main box use additional clamp on ferite shields over the cables coming from the computer rite close to the computer- or close to the monitor. - most modern units already have one on each end of the cable..
Good luck
