Before I spend $60 to$80 to replace the masthead tri-color bulb with
an LED equivalent, I am wondering what the consensus is here about
interference between LEDs and VHFs (or other electronics). Are there
certain LED lights that are superior or worse in this respect? What
in-use experience can anyone relay?

The interference, if any, would be caused by any integral voltage
regulator. Even if the unit you use has integral regulation, that
doesn't mean it will cause any interference. Some earlier LED units
supposedly had some sort of shielding problems, but it was not a
universal problem with LED tri-colors. I recently noticed that
"Lopolight" is now fully approved for use worldwide.

I have an LED masthead lamp that was a simple bayonet base replacement
for the incandescent. No problems with interference whatsoever.

I believe that there's an extensive discussion of this in the SSCA.ORG
forum.
