TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Electrical interference which can be caused by
cars, motorbikes etc, fluorescent lamps and
dirty insulators on overhead power cables.
This is called ghosting which can be minimized
with an outside aerial, and good quality cable
and terminations. Altering the aerial direction
can also minimize this effect.
