Hi, everyone.
My internet issues continue... looks like it's the cable into the house itself rather than my equipment. Comcast thinks we have a "leak". Huh? How can a signal "leak"?
Algore, where are you? I need my internet fixed. I'm back in the kitchen on my old IBM Aptiva with a hard connection while my router just blinks at me. Grrr.
My family's getting hooked up to DSL sometime this coming December.
Signals leak at poor connections.
One of the simplest forms of signal leakage, or noise generation, is your automobile.
Spark plugs, and their wires, are radio transmitters. If you use a small AM radio (are such still available?) which is tuned between stations, you will hear a great deal of noise as you get closer to the source.
At higher frequencies, you may need more sophisticated instruments to find the leak. Essentially, you have to secure all the connections, or repair broken wires, to do away with the leakage.
