AC Interference Unidentified pulsating signal residing on 1915 KHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz as received in Northeast (East Central NY state). Bandwidth is approximately 30KHz wide. Signal levels S5 to S9. 1.915 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz AMAmplitude Modulation 30 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz Worldwide Capture160.JPG
Acer X222W monitor, sleep pulse Used for some PC monitors to keep the monitor's power on (or sleeping) across the spectra. Monitors may transmit whatever frequency peaks needed to keep it "on" or on sleep mode. 420 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz — 470 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz FMFrequency Modulation, AMAmplitude Modulation Pulse 300 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz Worldwide Acer monitor default sleep signal.PNG
DisplayPort Interference DisplayPort is a digital standard used to carry video and audio data to computer monitors. It emits RFRadio Frequency interference in the 300-400 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz range when in use. 159.558 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz — 381.5 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz RAW 250 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz Worldwide DP interference.png
HDMI RFI Clock HDMI is a popular media source for delivering video, audio, all in the same stream. Unfortunately, there is massive interference from it when a neighboring SDR is near it. It can disrupt receiving to a great degree. 742 HzHertz (Hz), unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second (1 Hz). — 445.5 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz RAW RAW Worldwide HDMI clock 4rd.png
