I'm pretty new to amateur radio (taking my test on the 1st) and need some assistance. My new Wouxun KG-UV2D arrived and I've been programming it so that I can listen to the local traffic before I get my license (no, I'm not transmitting).
I'm picking up several of my local repeater frequencies with a constant buzzing on them, it's very very strong (according to the signal meter, it's maxed out) and making it impossible for me to use the SCAN feature of my new radio when I am in my apartment.
I found this post and this guy was able to pinpoint that his interference was related to Cable TV Audio channel 61.
70cm Interference
I then checked the cable TV frequencies using this table and found no interference on those frequencies.
North American cable television frequencies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can someone give me some pointers in locating this interference so I can hopefully eliminate it?
The frequencies are:
444.920 (bleeding into 444.925)
444.875 (spurious)
444.025 (spurious)
446.000
Any help would be appreciated...
