I have found that if there are weeds growing near any of the wires, the
noise will arc.  I suggested to my neighbor that I could hear his fence and
what caused the issue.  He took care of it... for awhile.... Maybe the old
pony will pass in the next couple of years and that will be the end of it.
I use the DSP with some limited effect because it creates more artifacts
than it cures with the fence noise.  Oh, my TS-2000 has the same issue...
worse, actually.

I like solution 1!  Just if I could pull it off without the horse noticing
me!


72,

Ouch!

Solution 1:

Take one pickup truck and tie the back bumper to the fence with an insulated
rope.  Jump in the cab and pull the fence as far as you can away from your
QTH
and destroy the charger.

Solution 2.

Help your neighbor find a fence charger that is not so noisy.

Solution 3.

Move to another location.

All the above is tongue in cheek.
