Terry,
Well I tried the extension cord route - plugged the Fisher into a 75' cord coiled in an 18" coil; plugged into a 50' extension cord and plugged that extension cord into a receptacle several rooms away. Turned on the radio and 90% of the hum has disappeared. Only a faint hum just at 92 meg on the dial....I guess I have noisy circuits in the listening room.... Any recommendations on a more permanent filter solution?
I thank you very much!
Fran
