  • Wishy-washy QRM on 2m

    From Gareth Paley@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 25 09:38:50 2023
    Getting this terrible drifting narrow(ish) band noise on 2m tonight. Before I break out the DF gear, has anyone seen anything like this (*) before and found out what's causing it?

    I'm thinking someone needs to get some posting software that
    follows standards.

    Yes. I'd say the number one suspect would be exactly that kind of thing.
    A cheap Chinese made switch mode PSU of some kind.

    Looks like it either gave up the ghost or warmed up some more and drifted up a few MHz because I had no bother for the rest of the evening
