I have to turn off the Guest on Lionheart to use HF. It radiates 20

make a Faraday shield for it out of tin foil, but it radiates into the
AC line cord so bad it was useless. I can't shield it all the way up
the dock.

You should hear what an Adler-Barbour 12V electronic-controlled fridge

Hey y'all, Happy New Year!!

I recently bought a $135 Guest brand 10A (2x5) battery charger. The
raterfratzer generates so much RF that it blanks my child bride's Icom 706
Mk2G on all bands even tho it's on a different power supply! It even
garbages up my 448.475 repeater that has it's own internal supply! Arggggg!

Got any ideas on how to quiet it down? I tried ferrite beads t no avail.

Know of any quite, affordable automatic chargers in the 10A range?

TIA, K3DWW

I think it's gotta be the switching power supplies - I have the same
problem on my Contender - it is annoying.

I've wondered if building something solid state and cascade the
voltage if that would help the situation any?

Later,
