Long story short, my Dynon display reads low voltageÂ due to the isolation diode. Is there a better choice?

Tom, I have an unresolved strobe noise problem in my composite aircraft. For the record, the radio is an ICOM A210 and they are Sky Brite Strobes with a Bob Archer antenna.

I hope the photo comes through.
