So what caused all this noise you might ask? This is the part that kind of irritates me. It was my damn GFI. One simple reset of the GFI removed the noise. But in order to find this I had installed UPStart on a laptop, plugged the PIM into that and roamed the house zeroing in on the noise. It was an effective way to find it; however, I put it off for a few days because I had too many other commitments.
Yup; SA/HAI/PCS support of their UPB stuff has always been top notch over the years.
Good to know what happened. Here I have added more outdoor outlets and every one has a GFI. Every bathroom has multiple GFIs and every outlet in the kitchen has GFI's. This is totally different than the new construction done in FL where the electrician used one GFI for many outlets in numerous locations. I don't know if it was a cost savings measure but it sure has been a PITA to deal. The electrician in FL crossed over rooms using GFI circuits.
Both houses were built around the same time.
One home uses all conduit with metal boxes and the other uses Romex with plastic boxes. The house in Florida also has fire breaks in the walls which I have seen here in my oldest home that originally was built in the 1950's. This though made it difficult to add a couple of circuits with the Romex stuff. Here in the midwest I have utilized the existing runs of conduit to add more circuits which made it easy as I did run the circuits to the fuse panel. There are no firebreaks here in any of the walls.
That said I never knew that a GFI could cause noise on the UPB stuff.
Thank-you for providing the information!
