[Milsurplus] Dirty generators

[CL in NC]

Back in the day of the 110VAC/12VDC radio, both tube type and solid state, the DC side was either a vibrator or switching transistors, and their output fed a square wave to the same power transformer as the separate 110VAC primary.  Most of the dirty generators say some where that they are not for electronic equipment, but that would be the modern stuff that has their own switching supplies built in.  If the rig is one with a transformer in it for the PS, perhaps the issue is the receiver picking up through its antenna input, every squeak, tone, and spike the generator is creating.
