If that is the ONLY source, it might be better to replace it with a 
linear supply of suitable current rating. I wouldn't be certain that it 
is the only source -- perhaps there's some power conversion happening at 
the unit (that is, up on the pole), in which case a choke there would 
also be required.

But that doesn't answer the key question I asked Bill -- is the system 
noisy or not.
