I have cheap LED lights on the work truck, and when turned on, pretty much wipe out all radio signals on the VHF/UHF and scanner, and put noise on the CB.
I bought a box of ferrite chokes, and added them to the power lines going to the LEDs, to the power line going into the radios, and to the antennas on the radios/scanners, and they made absolutely no difference whatsoever.
I'll eventually upgrade to higher quality work lights, like Rigid Industries, but I'm wondering if there are some lights that are just not fixable, or is there a technique that I'm not aware of?
By the way, I have a not particularly high-end warning light bar, i.e., not a Whelen or Federal Signal, and it does not affect the radios at all.
Thanks for any input.
