Hello, looking for a little guidance.
I recently got an RSP2 for Xmas from my mom, a nice little gadget. Because of certain physical and monetary considerations, rather that use this on the household Mac, I'm set up on a PC my wife used to need for her work (a Dell Inspiron from 2011, where the computer is built into the monitor). It has its limitations, particularly when running SDRuno (a resource-heavy program) but it works alright. Except for one thing - the screen is LCD and so the RFI is ranges from crappy to good god, why am I putting up with this. (It doesn't help that it's in the same room as our modem and wireless router, both of which are good RFI polluters themselves.)
As a long term solution I know that I'll have to get something else. It will need to be another Windows running PC because my daughter is getting to the age of online gaming and this PC is woefully inadequate for the task, so we'll need something to share. I'm leaning toward a less expensive gaming laptop. My question is, aside from getting something with an LED screen (which doesn't look to be an issue), are there other RFI generating components I need to be aware of?
In the meantime, I have a question about the short term. I had googled this and found a forum posting from 2006 where someone claimed to have grounded the frame of the power supply to his shack's common ground, which took care of the issue well. I don't really want to open up the back of this thing to attach a ground (unlike a tower from then, this thing is tight on space), but another forum (from 2010) advised that laptop users could attach a ground to the screw on the serial port or video connector. So, where would be a good place for me to attach a ground wire on mine? (I'm attaching a link to this model's manual so you can see what I'm dealing with.)
Thanks again as always.
EDIT: it would help if I provide the link that I said I would. (
