I had a problem with static in my radio with the Zaon connected to the ship's battery (squelch would go off). As a result, I went back to feeding AA batteries to the Zaon. Are those reporting not having problems with the Zaon connect to the 12v bus use some type of EMI filter? Thanks. B


A few wraps of the power supply wire around a ferrite toroid and you should be fine. This was not an unusual issue to see with the MRX. Just grab a ferrite toroid from an electronics component supplier, or anywhere else you can, say something roughly like 3/8" OD x 3/8" to long 1/2" OD x 1/2" long.

Just sold my MRX and included the power supply cable with ferrite toroid on it for the new owner.
