[Elecraft] Strange Interference

[Peter Pauly]

I had a similar problem with a very strong noise that increased in
frequency. I wondered for weeks where it was coming from and low-and-behold
- it was the Astron SS-30 sitting on top of my ham gear. I was using it for
the 2 meter rig and other smaller stuff. I replaced it with a linear model
and all is well.

My point is, if you think you can solve this problem by buying a different
brand switching power supply, you may be disappointed.
