    > Okay, time for some input about what, to me, is a weird problem.
    >
    > The players: Trace 2512 sine wave inverter
    > Delphi XM radio receiver w/ external antenna
    > Cambridge Audio system
    >
    > The problem: The radio and audio systems are 12 vdc powered. When I
    > turn on the audio system we get a lot of feedback (hum). If I turn
    > off the inverter it goes away. Both the audio system and receiver are
    > powered off the same source and both share the same ground (power
    > comes from the house bank which is tied to the inverters charging
    > system). Shore power on or off has no effect on the noise. If I power
    > the receiver w/ an AC to DC adapter there is no noise. The only cure
    > is to turn off the inverter which means that the beer is going to get
    > warm - darn. Do inverters put noise on the DC buss or is there some
    > sort of high frequency noise that saturates the system and is picked
    > up by audio inputs, can it be shielded - lots of questions but no
    > answers.
    >
    > Any ideas out there?
