View Full Version : Internal Modem picks up AM radio stations ???


August 3rd 07, 06:51 PM
Hello All,
Surprise, Surprise!!!! My Internal Modem (PCI) is picking up radio
interference on AM frequency 1000 KHz or somewhere thereabouts. I am
resident of Mumbai, INDIA. I can faintly hear "All India Radio
Service", which is 1044 kHz i.e., known as Mumbai 'A' & Mumbai 'B'
stations here. I can hear the sound from modems on-board speaker, of
course with some noise but pretty clear to make out whats being
braodcasted. Is this a known phenomenon?? I am wondering what exactly
within the card is acting as AM receiver & feeding it to the internal
speaker. Its rainy season here. Do you think moisture or grounding
problems could be this unintended behaviour.

Thank you,
