Book Review: Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Pocket Guide

“Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Pocket Guide”
by Kenneth Wyatt, WA6TTY and Michael Gruber, W1MG

It would also be helpful to homeowners, or anyone, trying to troubleshoot RFI and TVI problems in home entertainment equipment (radios, TVs, and stereo equipment). It makes a good companion to “The ARRL RFI Book,” the editor of which, Michael Gruber, is also a co-author of this guide.

• Identifying RFI,
• Locating RFI,
• Resolving RFI, and
• Assembling an RFI Locator Kit…..
