As a kind of off shoot topic from my condensation
post, I do have a small 12 volt fan mounted in my V
berth. I didnt use it much as its not in the best
spot.

Oddly enough when I run the fan and have the TV on,
the fan causes the TV picture to have funny lines,
esentially bad reception and interference in the TV
signal. I dont have cable TV, I have the coaxial cable
as an anntennae. The end of the coax is put against
either the morse shift lever or ignition key.

The fan is getting its 12 volts from a light in the V
berth. When the light is on, the TV is normal. Only
when the fan runs it affects the TV.

Oh also the TV is 120 volt of course and tied into
shore power.
Any ideas as to what causes the infereference? How to
trouble shoot?

If you get any off-list answers, please copy the list or me directly.
You see I have identical setup and identical problem. My answer is
simply to turn the fan off when I want to watch TV. Sure would like a
better solution though....

George,

That's incredible - you have the identical setup?? You also run your coaxial
cable up to the Morse controls or the ignition key??? Amazing! Perhaps you
two guys are onto something patentable?

Actually I lied a bit. My set-up and interference is the same.
However I do not use the Morse cables for antennae. I have in fact a
pair of amplified rabbit-ears (powered from a 120 volt
transformer/cectifier) and they work quite satisfactorly (ca 10 good
channels). Everything else is the same. Will follow Arild's
recommendation (thanks very much, Arild) and report later.
