This post is more appropriate in the Geekslutz forum.

Disconnect all equipment. Listen for interfernce. If not present, start attaching equipment one piece at a time and repeat. Listen for rf Check the shields on the cables.

Build the pin-1 tester from Jensen transformers and test each piece of equipment. Try to modify or repalce equipment with pin-1 problems.

Good luck. This post is more appropriate in the Geekslutz forum.

Thanks, Andre - perhaps someone will move it to wherever it belongs. Thanks for your reply - I will forward your reply to the college folks working on it. If you have any particular sources for learning more about "pin 1 problems", I'm sure they would appreciate that too - and/or we will dig further. Lots of learning curve to climb no doubt. Thanks again - DR

Jim Brown being both the AES committee chair of the EMI/RFI group and a HAM has many papers and PowerPoints on both the "pin 1 problem" and interference:
