Amps and low pass filters

Filter ls only help if the problem is harmonics. If the problem is just plain sheer power overloading the televisions then no kind of filter on the transmitter will help.
ok hopefully that will stop the problem and it is not a overloading problem, thanks Captain for your response
will it affect cable or satilite tvs as much as it does just plain antenna TV's or does it make any difference. just trying not to piss off the nieghbors
Not necessarily. If the problem is frontend overload of the receiver the problem is with the device being interfered with and not the transmitter. I used to interfere with my neighbors TV but my own TV was fine. I ran coax cable and had proper connections while he ran crappy twinlead and had a broken TV antenna.
If filters will help run two of them, put one inline before the amp and then one after. It is easier to deal with harmonics before amplification! and then put another filter after the amp.
that is the way it is here too the people right next door says not a bit of interference nor does it mess with mine but the guy 300 yards away is having problems
tallman that is what I was going to do. I am just hopeing that it is that I am not over powering his TV. but yes I did order 2 of them
I just put up a new antenna and all new coax including the jumpers, I am not sure if he has Cable TV or antenna.
Have good ground on the antenna 1.2 SWR, was going to put a good ground on the amp to the outside to a grounding rod, all the grounding I can, cant have too many.
Chances are he has a very old crappy television that has tubes in it. I had one neighbor who went APE SH*T every time I keyed up, same scenario so I went to best buy and bought him a Digital Television.
We set the old dinosaur (TV not the old buzzard) out at the street.
No body even bothered to look at it sitting out there on the curb.
That solved the problem for me.

Tall man I have even thought about that too after reading some more into this problem. the good thing about it is when I first got the amp set up I asked him to let me know if I was interfering with him he came by and let me know that I was. I am the type that I would rather eliminate the problem before it becomes a problem. that way I don't have people all pissed off at me for doing what I enjoy doing talking DX. Like I said I am not one to Say screw every one if they don't like it,pissed off people don't make things better just worst
