Jim and all;
I had the same problem with my motor home. Very objectionable on 75 meters
and progressively quieter on 40, 20 etc. I found it was the "converter" /
battery charger. It is a switching supply. I put ferrite chokes on all of
the input and output leads. This helped immensely.
By the way mine is a Inteli-Power RV Switcher/Converter.
