Re: Help ! Calling Ghostbusters.

Connect the outside of the attenuator SMA connector to chassis

WARNING !!!
The suggested method of getting off the bad chip is very rude and dangerous!
This may be practical with bigger chips, but not with so tiny ones!

Re: Hunting Spurious Emission at 154 MHz
It is KHz it is likely SMPS noise. A signal in the MHz range you describe is more likely leakage from a reference crystal oscillator on the motherboard or a plug in card.
