Shouldn't be any RF leakage, but I think it's ground loop issues. On the Sega Genesis, it's VERY sensitive with these RF modulators (Sega was certainly reluctant to put adequate filtering on it). The modulator works great otherwise, even as simple as it is. Since removing it to prepare possibly sending it to OP, as expected, RGB video cleaned up and lost the jailbars I was seeing before.

This is what this tiny little RF modulator has inside: http://i.imgur.com/zY5KfdD.jpg

No idea what the POT does, I'm guessing output power, but I have no plans to mess with it.
