Re: Line Noise Interference Question

["Dimbo Spams" <cuervojose(remove)@jps.net>]

I have the computer etc plugged into a powerstrip I bought from X-10 to
"correct" the problem. It didn't. I bought the smarthome filter plug and
then plugged the power strip into it. It still interferes. Maybe I can try
the computer directly into the smarthome filter, but that then eliminates
the protection of the surge protector power strip? I am baffled..........
