Hi again Mark,

I think Jake is on the right track, whatever the source of noise inside the
unit its the mechanism that radiates the noise that needs to be attended to.
In my case it was the external cables, choking them off with ferrite sorted
out my problem. To suppress the noise at source within the unit seems a bit
hard for me. I also suspect there may be more than one noise source in the
box.

furnace and heat pump installed. Since the weather has recently been
cold enough for the gas furnace to provide heat, I have been
experiencing severe radio interference. The interference wipes out AM

Hi,
Then, shielding, choking, bypassing with caps come to mind. It's all by
trial and error. O'scope may come in handy.

Well that's my concern.
There are more and more of these kinds of units being installed
everyday.
We can't "home brew" a fix for all of them.
Someone needs to get to the FCC or to the manufacterer to fix this at
the source before it gets worse.

Maybe "turn them in" to the FCC for a _finders fee_? :O)

Yup,
EMI pollution!
