Our 914 seems to be generating more radio interference.
It has been suggested that waving a handheld around the engine compartment may help identify areas that are generating RFI.
Anyone got any other suggestions?

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike
I had a similar problem with my Europa and traced it down to my cheap Iphone/pad charger.. I think the Guardian (not cheap) may be one way to go. Otherwise its a suck it and see situation with liberal use of chokes and capacitors in circuits

Hope you can sort it

Hi all

There have been several messages about radio interference from cheap USB chargers and I keep meaning to put a message out about it as I have spent quite a bit of time sorting this out.

What I have found is that there are car cigarette type chargers win USB outlets that use a completely different electronic technology which they call Smart Charging (not smart phone charging).

A good example of these is by a manufacturer called 1byOne and they market a triple output charger with each outlet supplying up to 2.4 Amps. They are available from Amazon for around £6. There are others available.

I and my friend have been using them for quite a while and there is no interference at all no matter how close they are to the radio.
