Default Lowering cockpit RF interference

Been a long time since EE school, but, IIRC, "switching on and off"
creates a LOT of RF noise.

Even at those low voltages and currents?

But what does solving the problem by fitting a simple capacitor across
the supply say about the relative amounts of RV vs. electrical noise?
Bear in mind that there's around 50cm of unshielded cable between the
capacitor on the switch and the T&B - cable that was supplied with it.
