Just out of curiosity, what kind of ballast(s) were you using that created interference?

I've had the cable company come to my place twice saying there was interference.

They actually showed me the interference on a laptop graph. I started freaking but then remembered the lights hadn't kicked on yet, I generally start mine around 4 PM.

They tightened my cable connections, including one in the living room and their spikey graph flat lined. They said everyone down line from me was affected.

I'd like to get some kind of tester for that shit, got testers for every other thing. I should have asked the cable guy, but I was too busy playing dumb.

A ham radio picks that shit up? I always wanted a ham radio.

May be a silly question but here goes. Does it matter that I don't have cable? Can't travel through something I don't have? I got dish..

I was using cheap chinese ballasts I had gotten for 40 bucks at the used hydro store. So there's that.

ALSO, I had a "live cable" chillin' right next to the ballasts! I had never heard of anything like this so I was clueless until they came.

An AM radio station that comes in clear will get completely distorted when your lights flip on if they have RF interference. Easy way to check. I've read that in "illegal states" cops will cruise neighborhoods with the AM radio on. When it gets distorted they log the address they are in front of.




Hmmm. That's a great question actually. I would think in that case you're probably fine? Shit. Not sure.

I broke the new million dollar machine today. The service engineer comes in to fix it and says to me, so I heard you broke the machine. Yeah, I said. It didn't take me long. He smells like he scrubbed his body with powdered detergent soap. Immediate contact headache ensued. Hope it's an easy fix. I think I would rather smell that dead deer carcass .

I accomplished dropping the joint from my mouth into the toilet while I was pissing. You think I can dry it off and smoke it later? Make a slow cure hanging upside down?

It absolutely will just because you don't have cable doesn't mean a shitty ballast won't interfere with it. ( unless you live in real rural area and don't have a cable line hooked to the house at all )Best way to know if your ballast screws up or if the RF shield in your ballast fails. It's just to have a small alarm clock radio in your room set to an AM station if that station ever gets fuzzy you have a problem

OK listen my friend. I was actually contacted because of "fuckin with the neighbors" exactly.

I did a lot of research and the "phantom II digital ballast" has a radio frequency filter built into each one. Switched everything out and have not had a problem. Amazon has them reasonably priced.
