First, thanks to all those who responded to my cry for help.

The consensus seems to be, that I should trade it in.  That is under 
discussion.

However, the tv belongs to my wife, and she took the only one in the store 
that met her requirements for viewing.  Fortunately, she doesn't watch a 
lot, especially, since she discovered the joy of reading books on my Victor 
Reader.  So, I think we can work out a schedule.

I did some more investigating.  The noise is bothersome across the 80-75 
meter band with peaks in spots.  It sounds like a 60-cycle rumble with other 
hash between the cycles.  Sometimes, I think I can hear music and/or voices 
in the background.  That may be my imagination, though.

I'm not sure about 40 meters, because the line noise is so bad.  It may be 
masking the tv noise.  There doesn't seem to be much on the higher bands.

Lloyd, there are already ferrite cores on the tv power cord, and one on the 
tv cable.  Would you believe, the cores came with the tv, and with 
instructions for installing them.

I do need to check my grounds and shields.  I have been using a Time Wave 
antenna noise canceller to combat the line noise for years.  I also have two 
noise reducing DSP units in the speaker line, one in the rig, and one 
external.

I think I'm just going to have to live with it.

Thanks, again.


73,
