The coax is generally pretty well shielded. The mains supply is probably twisted together. The satellite feed is probably close to 900 MHz (or at least several hundred MHz) so the 50/60 Hz interference shouldn't be a problem. I'd still put it in a different conduit if possible anyway. --=20 Martin K. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
