Richard
If you know Chad and Glen down there at YSBK......they would love to learn from your experiences too, they have the same drama even when they believe they followed the instructions.
Hmmmm Whelan's do work nicely

Yes David, We have 3 RV's at YSBK with the same problem. Two have been installed exactly as per the instructions (as best as we can determine). The other has not been and is (understandably) worse.
The Whelens do work well until the power supply for the strobe fails and they want $600 for a new one.
I am going to follow this through with Aeroleds. My personal view at the moment is that my current installation is far from optimal for NVFR/IFR ops.
Cheers

My aeroleds have worked perfectly with no issues.

Closely follow the Aeroled directions...

The most critical issue with these lights in reducing emitted noise into the radios and intercom is returning the ground to the case with a short run... this makes a BIG difference. I used a handheld radio to evaluate the noise from the strobes and position lights and the difference is quite remarkable.
Here is a shot of the wingtip connection for reference.

Stephen, where did you ground the shields on each end?

Lots of ideas here. I'll see if I can get AeroLEDs to weigh in. :-)

Im assuming I'm not the "other"  as I'm very sure I've followed the instructions to the letter, including the extensive details on the Aeroleds site. Still, COM frequencies around 120 break squelch - which makes YSCN problematic! Let me know if you come up with anything!
Cheers

hahahhahah 
Chad and Glen probably assume they are not the other....how many are there?
Glen tells me he followed the instructions carefully, of course EVERYONE will say that but maybe some subtle misunderstanding has crept in.
A mate GerryinOz up here is about to pull the trgger on these or Wheelans and I am doing his electrics with him, so it matters a bit to me now too.
Richard, give me a call if you get a moment....I dont have your number it seems.
Cheers
