VHF Radio interference & Solar power
Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2023 7:25 pm
It's a bungalow.
Inverter & batteries in the attic.
Main (open) living space is directly underneath.
My old Grundig analogue, portable radio is a family heirloom and usually has very good sound quality on VHF.
When the sun is strong, so is the interference. When low-sun / no-sun : no interference.
All aerial positions tried. All radio positions in the room . . . getting to about 10-metres away from the inverter.
There is a rather massive ferrite ring around a couple of the Solis inverter cables.
Is this a well-known problem ?
Do I need to move to a digital radio ?
