Tracy,

Can you possibly post a picture?  Since I haven’t detected any noise in my system, I would hate to pull the box out and send it half-way across the U.S. to fix a non-problem.  If we could check our own units, maybe you won’t have such a large pile of UPS boxes piled up at your doorstep.  I’m just trying to save you some work.  ;-)

To All single part EM2 users: 

 

I just identified a problem which causes radio noise in some installations.

 

There was a high frequency bypass capacitor left off the single piece version of EM2.  There should be a .33 uF 50vdc part (low series inductance type, not electrolytic) from the +12v  input line to ground near the switching regulator chip.  Don't know why I don't hear that much radio noise on the bench and in some completed installations but the noise on the +12 volt line is obvious. 

 

Sorry for the inconvenience but send the unit back and I'll fix it.  No charge of course.
