I then wired in a 100microfarad capacitor on the inlet line between +12 and GND, and no noticable effect. Further mucking around found that repositioning the wires coming out of the back of the EM-2 by about 1/2 inch eliminated the noise! Will see if this 'solution' holds up with further tests on Monday. Thanks for all the suggestions.
