For about the same price you can get a FilterConcepts CF series filter.
These are 10 times better for differential mode, and also have impressive performance for common mode (if the ground connection is clean--which admittedly it probably is not). They don't look as hi-tech: they're just a shiny metal box with information printed on them and some soldering.

Well, if you're just putting it behind your fridge it doesn't need to look good... here's a cheap used one: http://theelectrostore.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/surplus-emi-filter-concepts-cf151f-cf151-f-new.html Marc |

I guess what I mean by strange readings is the readings here have a
high variability and intensity within a very short distance sometimes inches. And this behavior is strange compared to about 50 other houses/apartments that I have measured in looking for a safe place to live. The zapchecker 185 I have supposedly goes from 3mhz to 5ghz. Because the zapchecker is only relative I can't give hard numbers I can only compare it to my experience with measurements in other houses. When I use a cornet micro basic rf meter I get what I would consider "normal" rf readings. In the -35dbm to -49dbm area. For example I'm only finding 3 2.4ghz wireless routers in my area with relative signal strength between 11-18%. I've never had problems before with this level of wireless activity. The Cornet measures from 100mhz up to 3ghz. So it's possible that the zapchecker is measuring something closer to the 5ghz range but again I've tested this on 5ghz 802.lla networks and the readings and signal behavior are much more consistent and linear in quality. And a 5ghz signal has less penetrating qualities than a 2.4ghz signal. The readings I'm getting here jump all over the place. Heck maybe the my zapchecker has gone defective. I'm actually trying to contact the company to get it checked. I'm not really familiar with measuring power except with a basic idiot gaussmeter. But I'm quickly learning. I just don't have money to buy good measuring equipment. Of course if I could sleep I wouldn't care about any of this any way. But I can't so... on it goes. I can sleep fine at a friends house about 5 miles away... so.

Hi Alan,
This is way too complicated for me. I've tried the gadgets & no help. If I stay too long in my house my skin will burn. If all the electric is on it will happen quickly. The high school with the cell anntennas & the bright stadium lights which are on now due to football game are just frying me. I wish I could blink & be in a safe house kind of like Bewitched could just twich her nose & viola! My gut starts to grumble with a reaction & I get pain too. Nervous as hell,can't relax. Has caused some nerve damage. I just want to build myself a safe home in country with block & conduit. I have to win that lottery first. Keep in touch. Do you have cell anntennas you are dealing with?

Maybe our experiences can help each other. I think I'm having similar house problems to you. I can't sleep feel edgy all the time. I tried plugging my quantum home into the outlet coming directly off the fuse box. There is usually one. This helped a little. I just got 3 stetzer filters and plugged them into my outlets in my bedroom only. This helped a little more. This is less than you need but you usually need 20 which costs $600. I am picking up 2 furman emi/rfi surge protectors today. But these are cheaper they don't have the "linear" filtering. I'm going to plug these into some equipment that I think is problematic. I also ordered a 3 pack of tachyon disks. No idea about these but I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm going to tape these to the fuse box. I'm using what I call the buckshot approach right now to see if anything alleviates my symptoms. I'm not sleeping well at all and that is just killing me. I also have MCS and have recovered a lot. Just moved to this house to avoid toxic chemicals and the house passed my basic emf checks but I think there are wiring problems. Electricity is screwy here. I will try shutting off all the circuit breakers to see what happens. So I have much more to do. I'll keep you posted with my findings with the understanding that everyone's reaction to this stuff is different.

I can feel my mood being blackened as I sit here getting fried by this random frequency generator known as a Laptop, so my body is saying get out, go, but I will ask you this - Loni what are you doing in terms of stress management, are you fit enough to take yourself away from the house and get on a bike, run, swim, stay out of your property for purposeful pursuits. In your house you are under siege, you need to fortify your mind as much as possible perhaps more so than fortifying the electrics and making the best of a bad job etc. Have you thought of joining an army training circuit team in your area where most of the exercise will take place outdoors, you cant fight the power but you can get fighting fit. Then you can get your self in a better position to think straight, better nutrition all that stuff, it will turn a vicious circle from one that you are turning in, into one that you can start to put the breaks on from outside.

We have a nice Ham radio man 30m away from this cabin, but he does not use his equipment until late.(although I am beginning to understand about how these guys earth their kit etc) What we do have is a 30ft christmas tree and 40ft conifers nearby. I wonder as the trees have microtubules full of water for transpiration etc all over them they must in some respects act like EMR collectors and thus transmit a lot to earth ie their root systems, so my cabin sits over a mass of leaky EMR feeders (the roots)as well as being quite open to the airborne direct hits from many scources around. Choose your trees wisely, deep tap rooted trees may be better than shallow rooted ones plus depends on soil type any many more permutations...
