Larry, I presume that question was directed to me. After further troubleshooting, I've discovered that the LED bulbs are the problem with my system. If I put either bulb in either wingtip, static is the result. Sounds exactly like the squelch on my radio. No interference with the audio panel or the CD player/radio unit. Just the SL-30.

I've sent a note to Bob Nuckolls about some filter that he makes to solve the problem, but have not yet heard back.

Default Nothing changed

Well, since my post was the last in this contentious thread, I may as well continue the saga ...

A fellow VAFer e-mailed me with a solution to my HF noise with the LED nav light bulbs: Solder in a 10uF capacitor and a .1uF capacitor in parallel between the positive and negative leads of the light. That worked -- until I went flying. Noise came back.

Next suggestion was a couple of toroid filters on the positive leads to the lights. Did that, wrapping 3 times. Didn't help.

The only other suggestion was to adjust the squelch setting on the radio. Didn't help.

I'm puzzled why others have not had this issue. There's nothing weird about my wiring -- it's Van's stock wiring harness.

I'm up for any other suggestions ...

N8RV.
Did you ever sort the radio noise issue?
I have the same problem.
