Many who are plagued with RFI go at it backwards. They try to determine
what is causing the RFI. I admit that may be easier than trying to locate
the source. But, what does this accomplish in finding the source? Not
much. You're far better to first determine the LOCATION of the RFI and
THEN determine what it might be. Once you have located the source, you can
begin figuring out what to do about it. Again, knowledge of what's causing
it really doesn't contribute much at this state. Mitigation is what you're
after, not what's causing it. That approach is somewhat backwards.
